About iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, hot-rolled, rolled on four faces or in a closed box pass, of a width more than 150mm but less than 600mm, 4mm thick or more, not in coils, without patterns in relief

HS code 721113 covers a specific type of flat-rolled steel product that is widely used in various industries, including construction, automotive, and manufacturing. This steel product is characterized by its hot-rolled, non-coiled nature and its dimensions, making it a versatile material for a range of applications. As a key component in the global steel supply chain, the industry surrounding HS code 721113 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 721113 typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw materials, such as iron ore and coal, are smelted in a blast furnace to produce molten pig iron. This pig iron is then refined in a basic oxygen furnace or electric arc furnace to remove impurities and produce high-quality steel. The steel is then cast into slabs or billets, which are subsequently reheated and rolled through a series of rolling mills to achieve the desired thickness and width. Finally, the flat-rolled steel is cut to the appropriate dimensions, often without any patterns or relief, and prepared for distribution and use.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the steel products covered by HS code 721113 include iron ore, coal, and other alloying elements, such as manganese, chromium, and nickel. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized rolling mills, furnaces, and other heavy machinery to facilitate the production process. Energy, in the form of electricity and natural gas, is also a significant input, as the steel-making and rolling operations require substantial amounts of power.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 721113 is flat-rolled steel products, which are then used as inputs for a wide range of downstream industries. These steel products may be further processed, such as through 721114 Iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, hot-rolled, not in coils, not clad, plated or coated, 4.75 mm or more in thickness or 721119 Iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, hot-rolled, not in coils, not clad, plated or coated, less than 4.75 mm in thickness, before being incorporated into final products. The steel produced under HS code 721113 is often used in the construction, automotive, and machinery manufacturing industries.
