HS v2022 Code: 721650

About iron or non-alloy steel; angles, shapes and sections, n.e.c. in heading no. 7216, hot-rolled, hot-drawn or extruded

HS code 721650 covers a wide range of iron or non-alloy steel angles, shapes, and sections that are hot-rolled, hot-drawn, or extruded. These products are essential components in various industries, including construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure development. They are used to create structural supports, framing, and other essential elements in buildings, bridges, and other large-scale projects. The demand for these products is closely tied to the overall health of the global economy and construction sector.

Production process

The production of iron or non-alloy steel angles, shapes, and sections under HS code 721650 typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw materials such as iron ore, coal, and scrap metal are melted in a furnace to produce molten steel. The molten steel is then cast into semi-finished products, such as billets or blooms. These semi-finished products are then reheated and passed through a series of rolling mills, where they are shaped into the desired angles, shapes, and sections. The final products may undergo additional processing, such as heat treatment or surface finishing, to meet specific customer requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of iron or non-alloy steel angles, shapes, and sections under HS code 721650 include iron ore, coal, scrap metal, and other alloying elements. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery, such as furnaces, rolling mills, and extrusion equipment, to transform the raw materials into the final products. Energy, labor, and transportation services are also crucial inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 721650 are various types of iron or non-alloy steel angles, shapes, and sections. These products are then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries, including 730120 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel; towers and lattice masts, 730830 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel; doors, windows and their frames and thresholds for doors, and 731010 (Tanks, casks, drums, cans, boxes and similar containers, for any material (other than compressed or liquefied gas), of iron or steel, of a capacity not exceeding 300 l, not fitted with mechanical or thermal equipment).
