Iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, plated or coated with aluminium zinc-alloys

HS v2022 Code: 721061

About iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, plated or coated with aluminium zinc-alloys

HS code 721061 covers a crucial segment of the steel industry, encompassing flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products that are plated or coated with aluminum-zinc alloys. These materials are widely used in a variety of industries, including construction, automotive, and consumer goods, due to their superior corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal. As a key component in the global supply chain, this industry plays a vital role in supporting economic growth and development across multiple sectors.

Production process

The production of the steel products covered by HS code 721061 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the steel is rolled into flat sheets or plates, often using continuous casting or hot-rolling techniques. The steel is then subjected to a plating or coating process, where an aluminum-zinc alloy is applied to the surface. This can be done through various methods, such as hot-dip galvanizing or electrolytic plating, to ensure a uniform and durable coating.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 721061 products include high-quality iron or non-alloy steel, as well as aluminum and zinc for the plating or coating process. Specialized machinery, such as rolling mills, galvanizing lines, and coating equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing of these products. Additionally, skilled labor and advanced production techniques are necessary to ensure consistent quality and meet industry standards.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 721061 are flat-rolled steel products, such as sheets, plates, and coils, that are plated or coated with an aluminum-zinc alloy. These materials are widely used in the construction industry for roofing, siding, and other building components, as well as in the automotive industry for body panels and other vehicle parts. Additionally, the outputs of this industry may be consumed by manufacturers of 732690 Other articles of iron or steel, 761010 Aluminium foil of a thickness not exceeding 0.2 mm, and 761090 Aluminium, not alloyed; aluminium alloys, articles thereof, n.e.s., among others.
