Steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled

HS v2017 Code: 722550

About steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled

HS code 722550 covers the classification of steel, alloy; flat-rolled, with a width of 600mm or more, that has undergone a cold-rolling process. This industry plays a crucial role in the global manufacturing and construction sectors, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of products and infrastructure projects. The production and trade of these steel products are closely monitored and regulated, as they are considered strategic commodities that contribute significantly to the overall economic development of many countries.

Production process

The production of steel products under HS code 722550 typically involves a series of complex processes. The key steps include smelting and refining of iron ore, alloying with other metals to achieve the desired properties, hot-rolling the steel into flat sheets, and then subjecting the material to a cold-rolling process to further enhance its strength, surface finish, and dimensional accuracy.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of steel products under HS code 722550 include iron ore, alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, and manganese, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for the smelting, rolling, and finishing processes. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, energy sources, and a well-developed transportation infrastructure to ensure the efficient movement of raw materials and finished goods.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 722550 is flat-rolled steel products, which are then consumed by a variety of downstream industries. These steel products may be further processed or incorporated into the manufacturing of 730110 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel; for example, bridges and bridge-sections, lock-gates, towers, lattice masts, roofs, roofing frameworks, doors and windows and their frames, shutters, balustrades, pillars and columns; plates, rods, angles, shapes, sections, tubes and the like, prepared for use in structures, 870120 (Motor vehicles for the transport of goods; with compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel)) and 940320 Furniture; metal, other than for office use.
