About iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, hot-rolled, of a width less than 600mm, 4.75mm thick or more, excluding those of item no. 7211.13

HS code 721114 covers a specific type of flat-rolled steel product that is widely used in various industries. This hot-rolled steel, with a width less than 600mm and a thickness of 4.75mm or more, is an essential material for manufacturing a range of products, from construction materials to automotive components. Its importance in the global economy cannot be overstated, as it serves as a crucial input for numerous downstream industries.

Production process

The production of the steel products covered by HS code 721114 involves a series of complex processes. The raw materials, typically iron ore and coal, are first smelted in a blast furnace to produce pig iron. This pig iron is then refined and alloyed in a basic oxygen furnace or electric arc furnace to create the desired steel composition. The molten steel is then cast into slabs or billets, which are subsequently rolled and shaped into the flat-rolled steel coils or sheets that meet the specifications of HS code 721114.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of the steel products under HS code 721114 are iron ore, coal, and other alloying elements such as manganese, chromium, and nickel. Additionally, the manufacturing process requires specialized machinery, including blast furnaces, basic oxygen furnaces, rolling mills, and finishing equipment. Skilled labor, energy sources, and a reliable transportation infrastructure are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The steel products covered by HS code 721114 are primarily used as inputs for the manufacturing of a wide range of goods. These flat-rolled steel sheets and coils are commonly used in the construction industry for the production of structural components, roofing materials, and other building elements. They are also utilized in the automotive industry for the fabrication of vehicle bodies, frames, and various other components. Additionally, these steel products may be further processed and consumed by industries producing 721119 Iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, hot-rolled, of a width less than 600mm, not clad, plated or coated, 721123 Iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, hot-rolled, of a width less than 600mm, not further worked than hot-rolled, pickled, not clad, plated or coated, and 721129 Iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, hot-rolled, of a width less than 600mm, not further worked than hot-rolled, not clad, plated or coated, nesoi.
