About aluminium; reservoirs, tanks, vats and the like for material (not compressed or liquefied gas) of capacity over 300l, whether or not lined, heat-insulated, not fitted with mechanical, thermal equipment

HS code 7611 covers a diverse range of aluminium products used for storage and containment purposes. These items are essential in various industries, including manufacturing, chemical processing, and logistics, where the need for large-volume, durable, and versatile storage solutions is paramount. The global demand for these aluminium products is driven by factors such as industrialization, infrastructure development, and the growing emphasis on efficient material handling and storage.

Production process

The production of the items covered under HS code 7611 typically involves several key steps. First, high-purity aluminium is melted and cast into the desired shapes, such as sheets, plates, or extrusions. These raw aluminium forms are then subjected to various fabrication processes, including cutting, bending, welding, and finishing, to create the final storage containers, tanks, and vats. Depending on the specific application, these products may also undergo additional treatments, such as lining, insulation, or the installation of specialized equipment.

Production inputs

The primary input for the production of HS code 7611 items is high-quality aluminium, which is sourced from 7601 Aluminium; unwrought producers. Other key inputs include specialized machinery and equipment for metal fabrication, such as cutting tools, welding machines, and finishing equipment. Additionally, various auxiliary materials, such as sealants, insulation, and fasteners, may be required depending on the specific product design and end-use requirements.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the industry covered by HS code 7611 are aluminium reservoirs, tanks, vats, and similar large-volume storage containers. These products are widely used in a variety of industries, including 8421 Centrifuges, filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus, for liquids or gases, 8419 Machinery, plant or laboratory equipment, whether or not electrically heated, 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, where they serve as essential storage and containment solutions.
