About HS Code 720915
This HS code covers cold-rolled, flat-rolled products of non-alloy iron or steel, supplied in coils, with a width of 600mm or more, and a thickness of 3mm or more. Cold rolling provides these steel products with superior surface finish, tighter dimensional tolerances, and enhanced mechanical properties compared to hot-rolled steel, making them ideal for applications requiring precision and aesthetic quality. They are extensively used in the automotive industry, appliance manufacturing, construction (e.g., structural components), and general engineering. International trade involves steel mills exporting these high-quality coils to service centers, stamping plants, and manufacturers globally. Key considerations include the specific steel grade, surface quality (e.g., full hard, annealed), flatness, and mechanical properties like yield strength and elongation. The market is highly competitive, driven by demand from durable goods manufacturing and infrastructure projects.
Products Under This Code
Cold-rolled steel coils (3mm+), Full hard cold-rolled coils, Annealed cold-rolled coils, High strength low alloy (HSLA) cold-rolled coils, Automotive grade cold-rolled coils, Structural cold-rolled coils, Deep drawing cold-rolled coils
Real World Examples
