About iron or non-alloy steel; angles, shapes and sections, n.e.c. in heading no. 7216, cold-formed or cold-finished, from flat-rolled products

HS code 721691 covers a critical segment of the steel industry, encompassing the production of cold-formed or cold-finished iron or non-alloy steel angles, shapes, and sections. These products are essential components in a wide range of industries, from construction and infrastructure to manufacturing and transportation. They play a vital role in the global economy, supporting the development of essential goods and services.

Production process

The production of the items classified under HS code 721691 typically involves a multi-step process. First, flat-rolled steel products are subjected to cold-forming or cold-finishing techniques, such as rolling, bending, or stamping, to create the desired angles, shapes, and sections. These processes allow for the precise shaping and sizing of the steel components without the need for extensive heating, which can help to preserve the material's properties and reduce energy consumption.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of HS code 721691 items include flat-rolled steel products, which serve as the raw material. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as rolling mills, bending machines, and stamping presses, are essential for the cold-forming and cold-finishing processes. Skilled labor, energy resources, and various consumables, such as lubricants and coolants, are also necessary for the efficient and high-quality production of these steel components.

Production outputs

The outputs of the industry covered by HS code 721691 are the cold-formed or cold-finished iron or non-alloy steel angles, shapes, and sections. These products are widely used in a variety of industries, including 730110 Construction, 870120 Automotive, 842199 Manufacturing, and 940320 Furniture. The versatility of these steel components makes them essential for the construction of buildings, bridges, machinery, and various other structures and products.
