About HS Code 721913

This HS code covers hot-rolled stainless steel flat products, provided in coils, with a width of 600mm or more and a thickness between 3mm and less than 4.75mm. These thinner hot-rolled coils are widely utilized in applications requiring good formability and corrosion resistance, often serving as precursors for cold rolling or direct use in lighter fabrication. Exporters are typically large integrated steel mills, while importers include manufacturers of household appliances, automotive exhaust systems, and various industrial components. The material's properties, including its ductility and weldability, are crucial for its application in diverse manufacturing processes. Traders must consider the specific stainless steel grade, surface finish, and mechanical properties to ensure suitability for the intended end-use, which often involves further shaping, bending, or welding. The global demand for durable and aesthetically pleasing consumer and industrial goods drives the trade in these specific stainless steel coils.

Products Under This Code

Hot-rolled stainless steel thin coils, Stainless steel strip coils (3-4.75mm), Light gauge stainless steel coils, Appliance grade stainless steel coils, Exhaust system stainless steel coils, Architectural stainless steel coils
