About iron or non-alloy steel; in coils, flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled, of a thickness of 0.5mm or more but not exceeding 1mm

HS code 720917 covers a crucial segment of the iron and steel industry, encompassing the production of cold-rolled, flat-rolled steel coils with a width of 600mm or more and a thickness between 0.5mm and 1mm. This type of steel is widely used in a variety of industries, including automotive, construction, and manufacturing, making it an essential component of the global economy.

Production process

The production of steel coils under HS code 720917 typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw materials such as iron ore, coal, and scrap metal are smelted in a blast furnace to produce crude steel. The molten steel is then cast into slabs or billets, which are subsequently rolled and flattened through a series of rolling mills to achieve the desired thickness and width. Finally, the steel is subjected to a cold-rolling process, where it is further reduced in thickness and strengthened through work hardening.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of steel coils under HS code 720917 include iron ore, coal, scrap metal, and various alloying elements such as manganese, chromium, and nickel. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery, such as blast furnaces, rolling mills, and cold-rolling equipment, as well as a skilled workforce to operate these processes.

Production outputs

The steel coils produced under HS code 720917 are used in a wide range of applications, including the manufacture of 870323 motor vehicles, 730110 steel structures, and 841430 industrial machinery. These steel products are often further processed or fabricated into a variety of end-use products, making them an essential input for many other industries.
