About tanks, casks, drums, cans, boxes and similar containers, for any material (excluding compressed or liquefied gas), 50l or more capacity but not exceeding 300l

HS code 731010 covers a diverse range of metal containers used for the storage and transportation of various materials, excluding compressed or liquefied gases. These containers play a crucial role in the global supply chain, facilitating the efficient movement of goods and raw materials across international borders. With a capacity range of 50 to 300 liters, these containers are essential for industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and resource extraction.

Production process

The production of HS code 731010 containers typically involves metal fabrication techniques such as stamping, welding, and rolling. Manufacturers may use steel, aluminum, or other metal alloys to construct the containers, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion. The containers are often designed with features like removable lids, reinforced walls, and specialized coatings to meet the specific needs of their intended applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 731010 containers include raw metal materials, such as steel sheets or aluminum ingots, as well as specialized machinery for metal forming, cutting, and welding. Additionally, manufacturers may utilize paints, sealants, and other finishing materials to enhance the containers' functionality and appearance.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 731010 are the metal containers themselves, which are then consumed by a wide range of industries. These containers may be used for the storage and transportation of 260300 Copper ores and concentrates, 270900 Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, crude, 310520 Mineral or chemical fertilizers containing the two fertilizing elements: nitrogen and phosphorus, and various other commodities. The versatility of these containers makes them an essential component in global trade and logistics.
