Aluminium; reservoirs, tanks, vats and similar containers, for material (not compressed or liquefied gas), of a capacity over 300l, whether or not lined, not fitted with mechanical/thermal equipment

HS code 761100 covers a critical segment of the aluminium industry, focusing on the production of large-scale aluminium containers, tanks, and reservoirs. These products play a vital role in the storage and transportation of various materials, contributing to the efficient logistics and supply chain operations across numerous industries. As a key component of the broader aluminium manufacturing sector, this code represents a significant economic activity, with applications ranging from chemical processing to water treatment and beyond.

The production of aluminium containers, tanks, and reservoirs under HS code 761100 typically involves a multi-step process. First, high-purity aluminium alloy is melted and cast into the desired shapes and sizes. The cast components are then subjected to various forming and shaping techniques, such as rolling, stamping, or extrusion, to achieve the required dimensions and specifications. Depending on the intended use, the containers may undergo additional treatments, such as anodizing or powder coating, to enhance their durability and corrosion resistance.

The primary input for the production of aluminium containers, tanks, and reservoirs under HS code 761100 is high-quality aluminium alloy. This raw material is sourced from aluminium smelters and refineries, which produce the necessary grades of aluminium to meet the specific requirements of this industry. In addition to the aluminium alloy, the production process also requires various tools, machinery, and equipment, such as melting furnaces, casting molds, rolling mills, and finishing equipment. The availability of skilled labor and access to reliable energy sources are also crucial inputs for this industry.

The main output of the industry covered by HS code 761100 is a diverse range of aluminium containers, tanks, and reservoirs, designed for the storage and transportation of various materials, excluding compressed or liquefied gases. These products are widely used in industries such as 282490 Chemical industry, 360100 Water treatment, and 842139 Filtration or purification machinery, among others. The containers produced under this code are typically large in capacity, often exceeding 300 liters, and can be used for a variety of applications, including the storage of chemicals, water, and other industrial fluids.
