HS v2022 Code: 720925

About iron or non-alloy steel; (not in coils), flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled, of a thickness of 3mm or more

HS code 720925 covers a critical segment of the steel industry, encompassing the production of flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products that are cold-rolled and measure 600mm or more in width, with a thickness of 3mm or greater. These steel products are essential raw materials for a wide range of manufacturing industries, from construction and automotive to machinery and consumer goods, making them a vital component of the global economy.

Production process

The production of steel products under HS code 720925 typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw iron or non-alloy steel is heated and rolled into thin sheets or strips. These are then subjected to a cold-rolling process, which involves passing the material through a series of rollers to reduce its thickness and improve its surface finish and mechanical properties. Finally, the cold-rolled steel is cut to the desired width, often 600mm or more, to meet the specific requirements of end-users.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 720925 steel products include raw iron or non-alloy steel, as well as specialized rolling and cutting equipment. The steel itself is typically sourced from 720810 Iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, hot-rolled, not clad, plated or coated or 720918 Iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled, thickness less than 3mm production. Additionally, the manufacturing process requires significant energy inputs, such as electricity and natural gas, to power the rolling and cutting operations.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 720925 is flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products that are used as raw materials in a wide range of downstream industries. These steel products may be further processed or fabricated into a variety of end-use items, such as 730120 Iron or steel; angles, shapes and sections, welded for construction, 870120 (Motor vehicles; tractors (other than tractors of heading 8709)) for the automotive industry, and 842199 Parts; of machinery and apparatus for filtering or purifying liquids or gases for industrial equipment.
