HS code · 6-digit subheading

HS Code 7211.13 – Iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, hot-rolled, rolled on four faces or in a closed box pass, of a width more than 150mm but less than 600mm, 4mm thick or more, not in coils, without patterns in relief

HS code 7211.13 is the 6-digit subheading for iron or non-alloy steel, flat-rolled, hot-rolled, rolled on four faces or in a closed box pass, of a width more than 150mm but less than 600mm, 4mm thick or more, not in coils, without patterns in relief. It is used for hot-rolled steel flats, steel bars for construction, structural steel sections, machinery base plates and heavy duty steel strips.

What HS 7211.13 covers

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.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
