About iron or non-alloy steel, angles, shapes and sections

HS code 7216 covers a wide range of iron or non-alloy steel products, including angles, shapes, and sections. These products are essential components in various industries, from construction and infrastructure to manufacturing and transportation. They play a crucial role in the global economy, providing the structural framework for buildings, bridges, machinery, and a multitude of other applications.

Production process

The production of iron or non-alloy steel angles, shapes, and sections typically involves a series of processes, including melting, casting, rolling, and finishing. Steel mills use blast furnaces or electric arc furnaces to melt and refine the raw materials, which are then cast into various shapes and sizes. The cast products are then rolled, extruded, or otherwise shaped into the desired angles, shapes, and sections, often with the aid of specialized machinery and equipment.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 7216 products include iron ore, coal, and other raw materials used in steel production. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of machinery and equipment, such as rolling mills, extrusion presses, and cutting tools, to shape and finish the steel products. Energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are also essential inputs for the various stages of the production process.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 7216 are a diverse range of iron or non-alloy steel angles, shapes, and sections, which are then used as inputs for a variety of downstream industries. These products may be consumed by manufacturers of 7308 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel, 8431 Parts suitable for use solely or principally with the machinery of headings 8425 to 8430, and 8708 Parts and accessories for vehicles of headings 8701 to 8705, among others. The versatility of these steel products makes them indispensable in the construction, machinery, and transportation sectors.
