Steel, alloy; angles, shapes and sections

HS v2022 Code: 722870

About steel, alloy; angles, shapes and sections

HS code 722870 covers the import and export of steel alloy angles, shapes, and sections. This industry plays a crucial role in the global construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure sectors, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of applications. Steel alloy products classified under this code are valued for their strength, durability, and versatility, making them indispensable components in the production of a diverse range of goods and structures.

Production process

The production of steel alloy angles, shapes, and sections typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, including various metal alloys, are melted and refined in high-temperature furnaces. The molten metal is then cast into desired shapes and sizes, often using specialized rolling or extrusion techniques. Finally, the cast products undergo various finishing processes, such as heat treatment, surface finishing, and quality control, to ensure they meet industry standards and specifications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of steel alloy angles, shapes, and sections include a variety of metal alloys, such as 720810 carbon steel, 720918 stainless steel, and 720211 ferroalloys. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery, such as rolling mills, extrusion presses, and heat treatment equipment, as well as a skilled workforce to operate these processes effectively.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 722870 are steel alloy angles, shapes, and sections, which are then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries. These products are commonly used in the construction of buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure projects, as well as in the manufacturing of machinery, vehicles, and various industrial equipment. The outputs of this industry may also be further processed and incorporated into 730110 sheet piling, 730120 angles, shapes and sections, and 730290 railway track construction material under other HS codes.
