About iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled products, width less than 600mm, not clad, plated or coated

HS code 7211 covers a range of flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products with a width less than 600mm, which are not clad, plated, or coated. These materials are essential components in various manufacturing industries, from automotive and construction to machinery and consumer goods. They provide the foundation for a wide array of products that support economic growth and development across the globe.

Production process

The production of the flat-rolled steel products under HS code 7211 typically involves a series of rolling and finishing processes. The raw material, which is usually in the form of steel slabs or billets, is first heated and then passed through a series of rolling mills to reduce the thickness and shape the material into the desired flat-rolled form. Depending on the specific product requirements, additional finishing processes, such as annealing, pickling, or temper rolling, may be applied to enhance the material's properties and surface finish.

Production inputs

The key inputs for the production of HS code 7211 flat-rolled steel products include iron ore, coal, and other raw materials used in the steelmaking process. Specialized rolling mills, furnaces, and other production equipment are also essential for the manufacturing of these products. Additionally, skilled labor, energy, and transportation infrastructure play crucial roles in the efficient and cost-effective production of these materials.

Production outputs

The flat-rolled steel products covered under HS code 7211 are widely used as inputs for various downstream industries. These materials are often consumed by manufacturers of 7308 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel, 8708 Parts and accessories for motor vehicles, and 8411 Turbojets, turbopropellers and other gas turbines, among others. The versatility and widespread application of these steel products make them an essential component of the global manufacturing supply chain.
