HS v2022 Code: 720916

About iron or non-alloy steel; in coils, flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled, of a thickness exceeding 1mm but less than 3mm

HS code 720916 covers a crucial segment of the steel industry, encompassing iron or non-alloy steel products that are flat-rolled, cold-rolled, and have a width of 600mm or more. These steel products are widely used in various manufacturing sectors, from automotive and construction to appliances and machinery, making them an integral part of the global economy.

Production process

The production of the steel products covered by HS code 720916 typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw materials, such as iron ore and coal, are smelted in a blast furnace to produce crude steel. The crude steel is then passed through a series of rolling mills, where it is gradually flattened and thinned to the desired thickness and width. The final step is the cold-rolling process, which further refines the steel's surface and mechanical properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the steel products under HS code 720916 include iron ore, coal, and other raw materials necessary for steel production. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as rolling mills and annealing furnaces, are essential for the various stages of the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are also crucial inputs for the industry.

Production outputs

The steel products covered by HS code 720916 are primarily used as intermediate goods in a wide range of industries. These flat-rolled, cold-rolled steel products are often consumed by manufacturers of 870000 Motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers, 730000 Articles of iron or steel, and 842000 Machinery and mechanical appliances, among others. The output of this industry serves as a vital input for the production of a diverse array of finished goods.
