About iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled products, width 600mm or more, clad, plated or coated

HS code 7210 covers a broad range of flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products that are clad, plated, or coated. These materials are widely used in various industries, including construction, automotive, and appliances, due to their enhanced corrosion resistance, aesthetic appeal, and specialized surface properties. As a key component of the global steel trade, the products under this code play a vital role in the international import/export economy.

Production process

The production of the flat-rolled steel products covered by HS code 7210 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the steel is produced through basic steelmaking methods, such as blast furnace or electric arc furnace processes. The steel is then rolled into thin, wide sheets or strips using specialized rolling mills. Finally, the steel is subjected to various coating or plating techniques, such as galvanization, tin-plating, or painting, to impart the desired surface characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 7210 products include raw iron or non-alloy steel, as well as various coating and plating materials, such as zinc, tin, or paint. Specialized rolling mills, annealing furnaces, and coating/plating equipment are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor, energy, and transportation infrastructure are important inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The flat-rolled steel products covered by HS code 7210 are used in a wide range of applications, including construction materials (7308 Structures and parts of structures), automotive components (8708 Parts and accessories of motor vehicles), and household appliances (8450 Household or laundry-type washing machines, 8516 Electric instantaneous or storage water heaters and immersion heaters). These materials are often further processed or fabricated into finished goods, making them an important input for numerous other industries.
