About iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, hot-rolled, of a width 600mm or more, n.e.c. in heading no. 7208

HS code 720890 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. These steel products are widely used in various industries, including construction, automotive, and manufacturing, making them an essential component of the global economy.

Production process

The production of HS 720890 steel products typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw materials such as iron ore, coal, and scrap metal are melted in a furnace to produce molten steel. The molten steel is then cast into semi-finished products, such as slabs or billets. These semi-finished products are then fed into a rolling mill, where they are subjected to intense heat and pressure to flatten and elongate the material, resulting in the desired flat-rolled steel sheets or plates.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of HS 720890 steel products include iron ore, coal, and scrap metal, which are used as raw materials in the steelmaking process. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as furnaces, casting equipment, and rolling mills, are essential for the various stages of production. Energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are also crucial inputs for the high-temperature processes involved in steel manufacturing.

Production outputs

The main outputs of HS 720890 are hot-rolled, flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products with a width of 600mm or more. These steel products are often used as inputs for other industries, such as 730110 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel; rails and railway track construction material, of iron or steel, 730890 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel, n.e.c. in heading no. 7308, and 870120 Motor vehicles for the transport of goods; tractors, among others.
