About HS Code 721310
This category encompasses hot-rolled bars and rods of iron or non-alloy steel, supplied in irregularly wound coils, featuring indentations, ribs, grooves, or other deformations. These 'deformed' characteristics are critical for enhancing the bond with concrete, making this product primarily known as reinforcing bar (rebar) in coil form. It is a fundamental input for the construction industry, used in infrastructure projects, residential and commercial buildings. Importers are typically construction companies, rebar fabricators, and steel distributors, while exporters are large-scale steel mills. Trade volumes are heavily influenced by global construction booms and infrastructure development spending, making it a key indicator of economic activity.
