HS v2022 Code: 720928

About iron or non-alloy steel; (not in coils), flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled, of a thickness of less than 0.5mm

HS code 720928 covers a specific type of flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products. These materials are essential inputs for a wide range of manufacturing industries, including 731000 (Structures (incl. prefabricated buildings)), 732111 Cooking appliances and plate warmers, and 870321 Passenger cars with spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine. The production and trade of these steel products play a crucial role in the global economy, supporting the development of infrastructure, consumer goods, and transportation systems.

Production process

The production of the steel products covered by HS code 720928 typically involves a cold-rolling process. This process involves passing the steel through a series of rollers at room temperature, which reduces the thickness of the material and improves its mechanical properties, such as tensile strength and hardness. The cold-rolling process is often preceded by a hot-rolling stage, where the steel is heated and rolled at higher temperatures to achieve the desired thickness and shape before the final cold-rolling step.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the steel products under HS code 720928 include iron ore, coal, and other raw materials used in the steelmaking process. Additionally, specialized rolling mills, annealing furnaces, and other metalworking equipment are essential for the cold-rolling and finishing stages of production.

Production outputs

The steel products covered by HS code 720928 are primarily used as intermediate inputs in the manufacturing of a wide range of goods, including 731000 Structures (incl. prefabricated buildings, 732111 Cooking appliances and plate warmers, and 870321 Passenger cars with spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine. These thin, flat-rolled steel sheets are valued for their strength, durability, and versatility in various industrial applications.
