About aluminium casks, drums, cans, boxes etc (including rigid, collapsible tubular containers), for materials other than compressed, liquefied gas, 300l capacity or less, lined, heat-insulated or not

HS code 7612 covers a wide range of aluminium containers, including casks, drums, cans, and boxes, with a capacity of 300 liters or less. These containers are used for storing and transporting a variety of materials, excluding compressed or liquefied gases. This industry plays a crucial role in the global supply chain, providing essential packaging solutions for industries such as 2402 Tobacco and manufactured tobacco substitutes, 3004 Medicaments, and 8708 Parts and accessories of motor vehicles.

Production process

The production of aluminium containers under HS code 7612 typically involves a series of steps, including metal forming, welding, and finishing. Aluminium sheets or coils are first cut and shaped into the desired container form, either through stamping, drawing, or other metal forming techniques. The containers are then assembled, often using welding or other joining methods, to create the final product. Depending on the specific requirements, the containers may undergo additional finishing processes, such as painting, coating, or the addition of liners or insulation.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of aluminium containers under HS code 7612 include aluminium raw materials, such as sheets or coils, as well as various tools and machinery for metal forming, welding, and finishing. Additionally, the industry may rely on other materials, such as sealants, gaskets, or liners, to ensure the containers meet specific performance and safety requirements. The production process also requires skilled labor, including metal workers, welders, and quality control personnel.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 7612 is a wide range of aluminium containers, including casks, drums, cans, and boxes, with a capacity of 300 liters or less. These containers are used for storing and transporting a variety of materials, such as 2402 Tobacco and manufactured tobacco substitutes, 3004 Medicaments, and 8708 Parts and accessories of motor vehicles. The containers may be further processed or customized to meet the specific needs of different industries and applications.
