Iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, width less than 600mm, plated or coated, (excluding tin, zinc or plastic)

HS v2022 Code: 721250

About iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, width less than 600mm, plated or coated, (excluding tin, zinc or plastic)

HS code 721250 covers a crucial segment of the steel industry, focusing on flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products with a width less than 600mm. These materials are plated or coated, excluding those coated with tin, zinc, or plastic. This industry plays a vital role in the manufacturing and construction sectors, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of applications, from automotive components to building infrastructure.

Production process

The production of the materials covered under HS code 721250 typically involves a series of rolling and coating processes. Steel slabs or coils are first passed through rolling mills to reduce their thickness and achieve the desired width and flatness. The rolled steel is then subjected to various coating techniques, such as electroplating or chemical deposition, to apply a protective layer on the surface. These processes enhance the steel's corrosion resistance, appearance, and other properties, making it suitable for diverse end-uses.

Production inputs

The key inputs for the production of HS code 721250 materials include iron or non-alloy steel as the primary raw material, along with various coating agents and chemicals. Specialized rolling mills, coating equipment, and other manufacturing machinery are also essential for the production process. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are required to power the manufacturing facilities.

Production outputs

The flat-rolled steel products covered under HS code 721250 are widely used in a range of industries. They find applications in the 871000 automotive industry, 940300 furniture manufacturing, 730890 construction and infrastructure projects, and 850300 electrical equipment production, among others. The coated steel sheets and strips can be further processed or fabricated into a variety of end-products, making them an essential input for numerous 940600 manufacturing activities.
