Chromium and articles thereof; wrought other than waste and scrap

HS v2017 Code: 811229

About chromium and articles thereof; wrought other than waste and scrap

hs code 811229 covers chromium and articles made from chromium, excluding waste and scrap. Chromium is a vital metal with a wide range of industrial applications, including stainless steel production, electroplating, and the manufacture of various alloys. This code is an important part of the broader metals and minerals industry, which plays a crucial role in supporting the global economy through the supply of essential raw materials.

Production process

The production of chromium and chromium articles typically involves several key steps. First, chromium ore is extracted from mines and then processed to produce pure chromium metal. This metal can then be used to create a variety of chromium-based products, such as sheets, bars, and other wrought forms. Depending on the specific application, these chromium articles may undergo additional processing, such as alloying, heat treatment, or surface finishing.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of chromium and chromium articles under hs code 811229 include chromium ore, energy sources (such as electricity or fuel), and various processing equipment and machinery. Additionally, the industry may rely on other raw materials, such as alloying elements, depending on the specific products being manufactured.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by hs code 811229 are chromium metal and chromium-based articles, such as sheets, bars, and other wrought forms. These outputs are then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries, including 721 Iron and steel, 722 Manufacture of basic precious and other non-ferrous metals, and 259 Manufacture of other fabricated metal products; metalworking service activities.
