HS v2022 Code: 721190

About iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, n.e.c. in heading no. 7211, width less than 600mm

HS code 721190 covers a broad range of flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products with a width of less than 600mm. These materials are widely used in various industries, including construction, automotive, and manufacturing, making them a crucial component of the global economy. They offer versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness, contributing to the development and growth of numerous sectors.

Production process

The production of flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products under HS code 721190 typically involves a series of rolling and finishing processes. The raw materials, which are typically steel billets or slabs, are first heated and then passed through a series of rolling mills to reduce the thickness and shape the material into the desired form. This process may be repeated multiple times to achieve the required thickness and surface finish. Finally, the rolled steel is cut, trimmed, and prepared for further processing or distribution.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products under HS code 721190 include iron ore, coal, and other raw materials used in the steel-making process. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as rolling mills, cutting equipment, and finishing tools, are essential for the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are also crucial inputs for the production of these steel products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 721190 are flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products with a width of less than 600mm. These materials are used in a wide range of applications, including the production of 721010 (Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, cold-rolled (cold-reduced)), 721070 Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, painted, varnished or coated with plastics, and 721090 Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, clad, plated or coated, among others. These downstream industries rely on the availability and quality of the flat-rolled steel products covered under HS code 721190.
