HS v2022 Code: 721924

About steel, stainless; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, hot-rolled, (not in coils), of a thickness of less than 3mm

HS code 721924 covers the classification of stainless steel flat-rolled products that are hot-rolled, have a width of 600mm or more, and a thickness of less than 3mm. This industry plays a crucial role in the global manufacturing and construction sectors, providing essential materials for a wide range of applications, from industrial equipment to architectural design. As a key component of the broader steel industry, the products under this code contribute significantly to the overall economic activity and international trade.

Production process

The production of stainless steel flat-rolled products under HS code 721924 involves a series of complex processes. The raw materials, typically stainless steel slabs or billets, are first heated in a furnace to the required temperature. They are then passed through a series of rolling mills, where the thickness is gradually reduced, and the desired width and shape are achieved. The hot-rolling process is followed by various finishing steps, such as annealing, pickling, and trimming, to ensure the final product meets the required specifications and quality standards.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of stainless steel flat-rolled products under HS code 721924 include stainless steel raw materials, such as 720218 Stainless steel in ingots or other primary forms, 720221 Stainless steel in semi-finished forms, and 720240 Stainless steel in flat-rolled products. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized rolling mills, furnaces, and other equipment to facilitate the hot-rolling and finishing processes. Energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are also essential inputs for the production of these stainless steel products.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 721924 is stainless steel flat-rolled products, which are widely used in various industries. These products may be further processed or consumed by industries such as 732111 (Stoves, ranges, grates, cookers (including those with subsidiary boilers for central heating), barbecues, braziers, gas-rings, plate warmers and similar non-electric domestic appliances, and parts thereof, of iron or steel), 842139 Filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus for gases, other than intake air filters for internal combustion engines, and 940320 (Metal furniture (excluding seats)).
