About iron or non-alloy steel; (not in coils), flat-rolled, of a width 600mm or more, hot-rolled, without patterns in relief, of a thickness exceeding 10mm

HS code 720851 covers a crucial segment of the steel industry, encompassing the production of hot-rolled, flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products with a width of 600mm or more and a thickness exceeding 10mm. These steel products are widely used in various industries, including construction, automotive, and infrastructure development, making them a vital component of the global economy.

Production process

The production of the steel products covered by HS code 720851 typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw materials, such as iron ore and coal, are smelted in a blast furnace to produce molten pig iron. The pig iron is then refined in a basic oxygen furnace or electric arc furnace to remove impurities and produce steel. The steel is then cast into slabs or billets, which are subsequently rolled in a hot-rolling mill to the desired thickness and width.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the steel products covered by HS code 720851 include iron ore, coal, and other raw materials necessary for steel production, such as limestone and scrap metal. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as blast furnaces, basic oxygen furnaces, and hot-rolling mills, are essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The steel products covered by HS code 720851 are primarily used as inputs for various downstream industries. These include the construction industry, where the steel is used for the production of structural beams, columns, and other building components. The automotive industry also consumes a significant portion of these steel products for the manufacture of vehicle bodies and frames. Additionally, the steel may be further processed and used in the production of 720917 (Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, cold-rolled (cold-reduced), not clad, plated or coated), 721011 Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, clad, plated or coated, and other related steel products.
