HS v2017 Code: 7309

About reservoirs, tanks, vats and similar containers; for any material (excluding compressed or liquefied gas), of iron or steel, capacity exceeding 300l, whether or not lined or heat insulated

HS code 7309 covers a wide range of industrial steel containers, including reservoirs, tanks, vats, and other similar vessels. These products play a crucial role in the storage and transportation of various materials, liquids, and gases across numerous industries. As a key component of global supply chains, the 7309 industry is essential for the efficient movement of goods and the functioning of many manufacturing and processing operations.

Production process

The production of 7309 containers typically involves a combination of metal fabrication techniques. This includes cutting, forming, welding, and finishing processes to shape the steel into the desired vessel designs. Automated machinery and computer-controlled systems are often utilized to ensure precision, consistency, and efficiency in the manufacturing process.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the 7309 industry are high-quality steel sheets, plates, and other raw materials. Specialized machinery, such as cutting tools, welding equipment, and finishing apparatus, are also essential for the production of these containers. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor, engineering expertise, and quality control measures to ensure the safety and reliability of the final products.

Production outputs

The 7309 industry produces a wide range of steel containers, including 7309 (Reservoirs, tanks, vats and similar containers; for any material (excluding compressed or liquefied gas), of iron or steel, capacity exceeding 300l, whether or not lined or heat insulated), which are used across various sectors. These containers are often consumed by industries such as 8421 Centrifuges, including centrifugal dryers; filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus, for liquids or gases, 8419 (Machinery, plant or laboratory equipment, whether or not electrically heated (excluding furnaces, ovens and other equipment of heading 8514), for the treatment of materials by a process involving a change of temperature such as heating, cooking, roasting, distilling, rectifying, sterilising, pasteurising, steaming, drying, evaporating, vaporising, condensing or cooling, other than machinery or plant of a kind used for domestic purposes; instantaneous or storage water heaters, non-electric), and 8413 Pumps for liquids, whether or not fitted with a measuring device; liquid elevators, among others.
