HS v2022 Code: 722550

About steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled

HS code 722550 covers the classification of steel, alloy; flat-rolled, with a width of 600mm or more, that has been cold-rolled. This industry plays a crucial role in the global manufacturing and construction sectors, providing a versatile and durable material for a wide range of applications. The production and trade of these steel products are essential components of the broader international trade landscape, contributing to economic growth and development worldwide.

Production process

The production of steel products under HS code 722550 typically involves a series of complex processes. The raw materials, which include iron ore, coal, and various alloying elements, are first melted in a furnace to create molten steel. This molten steel is then cast into solid forms, such as slabs or billets, which are subsequently rolled and flattened through a series of rolling mills to achieve the desired thickness and width. The cold-rolling process, in particular, helps to further refine the steel's properties, improving its strength, surface finish, and dimensional accuracy.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of steel products under HS code 722550 include iron ore, coal, and various alloying elements, such as chromium, nickel, and manganese. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment, such as furnaces, rolling mills, and cutting tools, to facilitate the complex manufacturing processes. Energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are also crucial inputs for the industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 722550 is flat-rolled steel products, which are widely used in a variety of industries, including 730890 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel, n.e.s., 870120 Road tractors for semi-trailers, and 840690 Parts of steam turbines and other vapor turbines. These steel products are often further processed and incorporated into a wide range of end-use applications, contributing to the overall growth and development of the global economy.
