HS code · 6-digit subheading
HS Code 7211.14 – Iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, hot-rolled, of a width less than 600mm, 4.75mm thick or more, excluding those of item no. 7211.13
HS code 7211.14 is the 6-digit subheading for iron or non-alloy steel, flat-rolled, hot-rolled, of a width less than 600mm, 4.75mm thick or more, excluding those of item no. 7211.13. It is used for heavy gauge hot-rolled steel strips, narrow steel plates, structural steel blanks, industrial steel bands and hot-rolled coils (narrow, thick).
What HS 7211.14 covers
This HS code covers flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, hot-rolled, with a width less than 600mm and a thickness of 4.75mm or more. These are typically heavy-gauge narrow strips or plates, serving as foundational raw materials for various heavy industries. Key characteristics include their robust strength and formability, making them suitable for structural applications. Major importers are often countries with strong manufacturing and construction sectors, such as those in Europe and North America, seeking these materials for further processing. Exporters are predominantly large steel-producing nations. Understanding the precise dimensions and hot-rolled nature is crucial for correct classification, as slight variations can lead to different codes. Trade in these goods is influenced by global steel demand, raw material prices, and anti-dumping measures.

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).
