Steel, stainless; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled, of a thickness exceeding 1mm but less than 3mm

HS v2017 Code: 721933

About steel, stainless; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled, of a thickness exceeding 1mm but less than 3mm

HS code 721933 covers the classification of stainless steel, flat-rolled products with a width of 600mm or more, that have been cold-rolled to a thickness exceeding 1mm but less than 3mm. This type of stainless steel is widely used in a variety of industries, including construction, automotive, and consumer appliances, due to its durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal. As a key component in many manufacturing processes, the production and trade of this stainless steel product plays a significant role in the global economy.

Production process

The production of stainless steel flat-rolled products under HS code 721933 typically involves a multi-step process. First, stainless steel slabs or billets are heated and then passed through a series of rolling mills to reduce the thickness and shape the material into the desired flat-rolled form. The cold-rolling process is then used to further refine the thickness and improve the surface finish of the steel. Finally, the steel may undergo additional processing, such as annealing or pickling, to enhance its properties and meet specific customer requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of stainless steel flat-rolled products under HS code 721933 include stainless steel raw materials, such as 720218 Stainless steel in ingots or other primary forms, as well as specialized rolling and processing equipment. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the production facilities, and skilled labor is required to operate the machinery and ensure quality control.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 721933 is stainless steel flat-rolled products, which can be used in a wide range of applications. These products may be further processed or incorporated into the manufacturing of various 842211 Dish washing machines, 732111 Cooking appliances and plate warmers, and 730890 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel, n.e.s., among other goods. The stainless steel flat-rolled products classified under this code are also likely to be used as inputs for the production of 732393 Stainless steel table, kitchen or other household articles, 732410 Sinks and wash basins, of stainless steel, and 732490 Sanitary ware and parts thereof, of iron or steel, further demonstrating the versatility and importance of this industry.
