Iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, width less than 600mm, clad

HS v2022 Code: 721260

About iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, width less than 600mm, clad

HS code 721260 covers iron or non-alloy steel that has been flat-rolled and has a width of less than 600mm. This type of steel is commonly used in a variety of industries, including construction, automotive, and manufacturing. It is an essential material for the production of a wide range of products, making it a crucial component of the global economy.

Production process

The production of flat-rolled steel with a width less than 600mm typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw materials such as iron ore and coal are smelted in a blast furnace to produce crude steel. The crude steel is then subjected to a series of rolling and finishing processes, including hot rolling, cold rolling, and annealing, to achieve the desired thickness, width, and surface finish. The final product is then coated or clad, if necessary, to enhance its properties and performance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 721260 steel include iron ore, coal, and other alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, and manganese. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as rolling mills, annealing furnaces, and coating lines, are essential for the manufacturing process. The availability and cost of these raw materials and production resources can significantly impact the overall supply and pricing of this type of steel.

Production outputs

The flat-rolled steel produced under HS code 721260 is used in a wide range of applications, including the manufacture of 730120 Structures and parts of structures, iron or steel; towers and lattice masts, 732690 Articles of iron or steel, n.e.c. in heading no. 7326, and 870120 (Tractors (other than tractors of heading no. 8709)). The output of this industry is a crucial input for various downstream industries, making it an important component of the global supply chain.
