HS v2022 Code: 7310
About tanks, casks, drums, cans, boxes and similar containers, for any material (excluding compressed or liquefied gas), of iron or steel, capacity not exceeding 300l, whether or not lined or heat-insulated
HS code 7310 covers a wide range of metal containers used for the storage and transportation of various materials, excluding compressed or liquefied gases. These containers are essential components in numerous industries, facilitating the efficient movement of goods, raw materials, and finished products across global supply chains. Their versatility and durability make them indispensable in sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, and consumer goods, contributing significantly to the overall economy.
Production process
The production of HS code 7310 containers typically involves a combination of metalworking techniques, including stamping, welding, and finishing processes. Manufacturers often utilize automated machinery and advanced technologies to ensure consistent quality and high production volumes. The containers may undergo additional treatments, such as coating or lining, to enhance their durability, corrosion resistance, or insulation properties, depending on the specific application.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of HS code 7310 containers include various grades of steel, such as 7208 Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, hot-rolled, not clad, plated or coated and 7209 (Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, cold-rolled (cold-reduced), not clad, plated or coated). Additionally, manufacturers may require specialized equipment, such as stamping presses, welding machines, and finishing tools, as well as various consumables like welding rods, paints, and sealants.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of HS code 7310 are the various types of metal containers, including tanks, casks, drums, cans, and boxes. These containers are widely used in a variety of industries, such as 8708 Parts and accessories of motor vehicles for automotive parts and components, 2710 Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, other than crude; preparations not elsewhere specified or included, containing by weight 70% or more of petroleum oils or of oils obtained from bituminous minerals, these being the basic constituents of the preparations; waste oils for lubricants and fuels, and 3304 (Beauty or make-up preparations and preparations for the care of the skin (other than medicaments), including sunscreen or sun tan preparations; manicure or pedicure preparations) for cosmetics and personal care products.
