About HS Code 721113

This HS code covers hot-rolled flat products of iron or non-alloy steel, specifically those rolled on four faces or in a closed box pass. These products have a width between 150mm and 600mm, a thickness of 4mm or more, are not in coils, and lack patterns in relief. They represent essential semi-finished or intermediate goods vital for heavy industries. Importers are typically manufacturers of structural components, machinery parts, and construction materials, requiring robust and dimensionally stable steel. Exporters are large integrated steel mills. The trade volume is closely tied to global industrial demand, infrastructure development, and the manufacturing output of various sectors, including automotive and construction.

Products Under This Code

Hot-rolled steel flats, steel bars for construction, structural steel sections, machinery base plates, heavy duty steel strips, railway track components, industrial steel profiles

Real World Examples

ArcelorMittal hot-rolled flats, Nippon Steel structural sections, POSCO heavy gauge steel, Tata Steel industrial bars, SSAB hot-rolled plates

Common Misclassification

Often confused with 721114 (less than 4mm thick) or 720851 (hot-rolled, width 600mm or more), where the precise dimensions, particularly width and thickness, are the key distinguishing factors.

EU Regulatory Requirements

This product falls under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). Importers to the EU must declare embedded carbon emissions and purchase CBAM certificates.
