Aluminium; collapsible tubular containers, for any material, (not compressed or liquefied gas), 300l capacity or less, whether or not lined, not fitted with mechanical/thermal equipment

HS code 761210 covers the import and export of aluminium collapsible tubular containers, commonly used for a variety of materials. These lightweight, versatile containers play a crucial role in the global logistics and packaging industry, facilitating the efficient transportation and storage of a wide range of products. As a key component in the supply chain, this industry contributes significantly to the broader economy by enabling the seamless movement of goods across international borders.

The production of aluminium collapsible tubular containers involves several key steps. First, high-purity aluminium is melted and cast into the desired shape and size. The containers are then formed through a process of stamping, rolling, and welding, ensuring a durable and collapsible structure. Quality control measures, such as thickness testing and surface finishing, are implemented throughout the manufacturing process to maintain consistent product standards.

The primary inputs for this industry include raw aluminium, as well as various tools and machinery necessary for the fabrication process. Specialized equipment, such as metal stamping presses and welding machines, are essential for shaping and assembling the collapsible containers. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating the production equipment and adhering to strict quality control protocols.

The primary output of HS code 761210 is aluminium collapsible tubular containers, which are used for the storage and transportation of a wide range of materials, including 270900 Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, crude, 310520 Mineral or chemical fertilizers, containing the two fertilizing elements nitrogen and phosphorus, and 330300 Perfumes and toilet waters. These containers are often consumed by industries involved in 4920 Transportation and storage, 4610 Wholesale trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles, and 4700 Retail trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles.
