About iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, plated or coated with materials n.e.c. in heading no. 7210

HS code 721090 covers a critical segment of the steel industry, encompassing flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products that are plated or coated with materials not elsewhere classified in heading 7210. These steel products play a vital role in a wide range of industries, from construction and automotive to consumer goods and infrastructure development, making them an essential component of the global economy.

Production process

The production of steel products under HS code 721090 typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw materials such as iron ore and coal are smelted in a blast furnace to produce crude steel. The crude steel is then rolled into flat sheets or plates, which are subsequently plated or coated with various materials to enhance their properties, such as corrosion resistance, appearance, or specific functional characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 721090 steel products include iron ore, coal, and other alloying elements, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for the rolling, plating, and coating processes. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, energy sources, and a robust transportation infrastructure to move raw materials and finished goods.

Production outputs

The steel products covered by HS code 721090 are widely used in a variety of industries, including 730890 Structures and parts of structures, n.e.c., of iron or steel, 870321 Motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons, including station wagons and racing cars, with spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine of a cylinder capacity not exceeding 1,000 cc, and 732690 Articles of iron or steel, n.e.c.. These coated and plated steel products are valued for their durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal, making them essential components in the manufacturing of a wide range of products.
