HS v2022 Code: 720854

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 of less than 3mm

HS code 720854 covers a crucial category of iron and non-alloy steel products - flat-rolled steel sheets and plates that are hot-rolled, without patterns, and less than 3mm thick. These materials are widely used in a variety of industries, including construction, automotive, and machinery manufacturing, making them an integral part of the global economy.

Production process

The production of the steel products covered by HS code 720854 typically involves a multi-step hot-rolling process. First, steel billets or slabs are heated to high temperatures, then passed through a series of rolling mills that gradually reduce the thickness of the material while increasing its width and length. The final rolling stages ensure the steel sheets meet the thickness requirement of less than 3mm, without any embossed patterns on the surface.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 720854 steel products include iron ore, coal, and other alloying elements such as manganese, chromium, and nickel. Specialized rolling mills, furnaces, and other metalworking equipment are also essential for the hot-rolling process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in steel production and metalworking techniques.

Production outputs

The steel sheets and plates produced under HS code 720854 are used as inputs for a wide range of downstream industries. They are commonly used in the manufacture of 721011 Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, hot-rolled, not clad, plated or coated, 721012 Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, hot-rolled, plated or coated, and 721090 (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).
