Steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, hot-rolled, in coils

HS v2022 Code: 722530

About steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, hot-rolled, in coils

HS code 722530 covers the classification of steel, alloy; flat-rolled, with a width of 600mm or more, that has been hot-rolled and is in coil form. This industry is a critical component of the broader steel manufacturing sector, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of downstream industries, including 730110 Structures and parts of structures, iron or steel, 870120 Trucks, motor vehicles for the transport of goods, and 841920 Machinery for the treatment of materials by a process involving a change of temperature. The production and trade of these steel products play a significant role in the global economy, supporting infrastructure development, manufacturing, and economic growth.

Production process

The production of HS code 722530 steel products involves a multi-step hot-rolling process. First, steel alloy billets or slabs are heated to high temperatures, typically in a furnace. The heated steel is then passed through a series of rolling mills, where it is gradually flattened and elongated into the desired thickness and width. The rolled steel is then coiled for ease of handling and transportation.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 722530 steel products include iron ore, coal, and other alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, and manganese. Specialized rolling mill equipment, including rolling stands, coilers, and cooling systems, are also essential for the hot-rolling process. Additionally, a reliable energy supply, skilled labor, and efficient logistics infrastructure are crucial for the smooth operation of this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 722530 is flat-rolled steel coils, which can be further processed and used in a variety of downstream applications. These steel products may be consumed by industries producing 730110 Structures and parts of structures, iron or steel, 870120 Trucks, motor vehicles for the transport of goods, and 841920 Machinery for the treatment of materials by a process involving a change of temperature, among others. The availability and quality of these steel coils play a significant role in the competitiveness and productivity of these related industries.
