About aluminium; reservoirs, tanks, vats and the like for material (not compressed or liquefied gas) of capacity over 300l, whether or not lined, heat-insulated, not fitted with mechanical, thermal equipment

HS code 7611 covers a wide range of aluminium containers and storage vessels with a capacity exceeding 300 liters. These products are essential for the storage and transportation of various materials, liquids, and gases across numerous industries. As a key component of the global supply chain, the aluminium containers and tanks described by this code play a vital role in the import/export activities that drive international trade and economic growth.

Production process

The production of aluminium containers and tanks under HS code 7611 typically involves a multi-step process. First, high-purity aluminium alloy is melted and cast into the desired shapes and sizes. The cast pieces are then subjected to various forming and shaping techniques, such as rolling, stamping, or extrusion, to create the basic container or tank structures. These structures may then undergo additional processing, such as welding, heat treatment, or surface finishing, to enhance their durability, insulation properties, or aesthetic appeal, depending on the intended application.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 7611 items include high-quality aluminium alloy, which serves as the primary raw material. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as melting furnaces, casting molds, rolling mills, and welding stations, are essential for the various manufacturing processes. Other key inputs may include insulation materials, sealants, and coatings to ensure the containers and tanks meet specific performance and safety requirements.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the HS code 7611 industry are aluminium containers, tanks, vats, and similar storage vessels with a capacity exceeding 300 liters. These products are widely used in a variety of industries, including 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 oils being the basic constituents of the preparations; waste oils, 2844 (Radioactive chemical elements and radioactive isotopes (including the fissile or fertile chemical elements and isotopes) and their compounds; mixtures and residues containing these products), and 8421 Centrifuges, including centrifugal dryers; filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus, for liquids or gases.
