Aluminium; containers for compressed or liquefied gas

HS code 761300 covers the import and export of aluminium containers for compressed or liquefied gas. This industry plays a crucial role in the global supply chain, providing essential packaging solutions for a wide range of industries, including energy, transportation, and industrial manufacturing. These aluminium containers are valued for their durability, safety, and versatility, making them a vital component in the storage and distribution of various compressed and liquefied gases.

The production of aluminium containers for compressed or liquefied gas typically involves a multi-step process. First, high-purity aluminium alloy is melted and cast into the desired shapes and sizes. The cast aluminium is then subjected to a series of rolling, drawing, and forming operations to create the container bodies and closures. Specialized equipment is used to ensure the containers meet stringent safety and performance standards, including pressure testing and quality control measures.

The main inputs required for the production of aluminium containers for compressed or liquefied gas include high-purity aluminium alloy, specialized machinery and equipment for forming and shaping the containers, as well as various components such as valves, fittings, and protective coatings. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating the production equipment and adhering to strict safety protocols.

The primary output of HS code 761300 is aluminium containers for the storage and transportation of compressed or liquefied gases. These containers are widely used in a variety of industries, including 271000 Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, crude, 280410 Hydrogen, 280421 Argon, and 280429 Other rare gases. The aluminium containers produced under this code are essential for the safe and efficient distribution of these critical industrial and commercial gases.
