Steel, stainless; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled, of a thickness of less than 0.5mm

HS v2017 Code: 721935

About steel, stainless; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled, of a thickness of less than 0.5mm

HS code 721935 covers the classification of stainless steel, flat-rolled products that are at least 600mm wide and less than 0.5mm thick, produced through a cold-rolling process. This industry plays a crucial role in the global manufacturing and construction sectors, providing high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials for a wide range of applications, from household appliances to industrial equipment and infrastructure.

Production process

The production of stainless steel flat-rolled products under HS code 721935 typically involves a multi-step process. First, stainless steel slabs or coils are heated and then passed through a series of rolling mills to reduce the thickness and shape the material. The cold-rolling process helps to further refine the surface finish and mechanical properties of the steel. Finally, the flat-rolled products may undergo additional treatments, such as annealing or pickling, to enhance their corrosion resistance and other characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of stainless steel flat-rolled products under HS code 721935 include stainless steel raw materials, such as 720821 Stainless steel, not alloyed, in ingots or other primary forms and 720822 Stainless steel, not alloyed, in other primary forms. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized rolling mills, annealing furnaces, and other production equipment, as well as various chemicals and consumables used in the finishing processes.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 721935 is stainless steel flat-rolled products, which are widely used in a variety of industries, including 732111 Cooking appliances and plate warmers for domestic use, non-electric, 842123 Machinery and apparatus for filtering or purifying gases, and 870321 Motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons, with spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine of a cylinder capacity not exceeding 1,000 cc. These materials are valued for their durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal, making them essential components in numerous manufacturing and construction applications.
