About steel, stainless; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, hot-rolled, in coils, of a thickness exceeding 10mm

HS code 721911 covers the classification of stainless steel flat-rolled products that are hot-rolled, in coils, and have a width of 600mm or more with a thickness exceeding 10mm. This industry is a crucial component of the global steel supply chain, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of manufacturing and construction applications. Stainless steel's unique properties, such as corrosion resistance and durability, make it a highly sought-after material in various industries, including automotive, infrastructure, and consumer goods.

Production process

The production of stainless steel flat-rolled products under HS code 721911 typically involves a multi-step process. First, stainless steel is produced through a process of melting and refining raw materials, such as chromium, nickel, and other alloying elements. The molten steel is then cast into slabs or billets, which are subsequently heated and rolled into thin, flat sheets or coils. The hot-rolling process involves passing the steel through a series of rollers to reduce its thickness and achieve the desired width and shape.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of stainless steel flat-rolled products under HS code 721911 include raw materials such as chromium, nickel, and other alloying elements, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for the melting, casting, and rolling processes. Energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are also essential inputs for the various stages of production. Additionally, skilled labor and technical expertise are necessary to operate the complex manufacturing equipment and ensure consistent product quality.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 721911 is stainless steel flat-rolled products in coil form, with a width of 600mm or more and a thickness exceeding 10mm. These materials are then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries, including 721912 Steel, stainless; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, hot-rolled, not in coils, of a thickness exceeding 10mm, 721913 Steel, stainless; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, hot-rolled, in coils, of a thickness of 4.75mm or more but not exceeding 10mm, and 721914 Steel, stainless; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, hot-rolled, not in coils, of a thickness of 4.75mm or more but not exceeding 10mm, which further process the stainless steel into a variety of finished products.
