About steel, stainless; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled or cold-reduced, of a thickness of 4.75mm or more

HS code 721931 covers stainless steel flat-rolled products that are at least 600mm wide and 4.75mm or more in thickness. These materials are essential for a wide range of industries, from construction and infrastructure to automotive and consumer goods manufacturing. As a key component in the global supply chain, the production and trade of these stainless steel products play a significant role in the broader economy.

Production process

The production of stainless steel flat-rolled products under HS code 721931 typically involves a multi-step process. First, stainless steel is produced through a process of melting and refining raw materials, such as chromium, nickel, and other alloying elements. The molten steel is then cast into slabs or billets, which are subsequently rolled and reduced in thickness through a series of cold-rolling operations to achieve the desired dimensions and properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 721931 stainless steel flat-rolled products include stainless steel raw materials, such as 720810 Steel, iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled products, of a width of 600 mm or more, hot-rolled, not clad, plated or coated and 720916 (Steel, stainless; flat-rolled products, of a width of 600 mm or more, cold-rolled (cold-reduced)). Additionally, specialized rolling and processing equipment, as well as energy sources and skilled labor, are essential for the manufacturing of these high-quality stainless steel products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 721931 are stainless steel flat-rolled products that are used in a variety of applications, 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) and 732393 Stainless steel table, kitchen or other household articles and parts thereof. These stainless steel materials may also be further processed and incorporated into other products, such as 732410 Sinks and wash-basins, of stainless steel and 732690 Articles of iron or steel, n.e.c. in heading no. 7326.
