About iron or non-alloy steel; bars and rods, hot-rolled, in irregularly wound coils

HS code 7213 covers iron or non-alloy steel bars and rods that are hot-rolled and coiled in an irregular manner. This industry plays a crucial role in the global supply chain, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of manufacturing and construction sectors. The production of these steel products is a key indicator of economic activity and industrial development, making it an important component of the broader metal and mining industry.

Production process

The production of HS code 7213 steel bars and rods typically involves a multi-step process. First, iron ore and other raw materials 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 create steel. The molten steel is then cast into billets or blooms, which are subsequently reheated and hot-rolled into the desired shape and size of the final steel bars and rods. The hot-rolled coils are then cooled, cut, and prepared for distribution and further processing.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 7213 steel bars and rods include iron ore, coal, and other alloying elements such as manganese, chromium, and nickel. Specialized rolling mills, furnaces, and other heavy machinery are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor and reliable energy sources are crucial for the efficient operation of this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 7213 is hot-rolled steel bars and rods, which are then used as inputs for a variety of downstream industries. These steel products are commonly consumed by the 7214 Iron or non-alloy steel; bars and rods, not further worked than forged, hot-rolled, hot-drawn or hot-extruded, but including those twisted after rolling and 7215 Other bars and rods of iron or non-alloy steel industries, as well as the 7216 Angles, shapes and sections of iron or non-alloy steel and 7217 Wire of iron or non-alloy steel sectors.
