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 an indispensable 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 forming and shaping processes, such as extrusion, drawing, and stamping, to create the container bodies and closures. Finally, the containers undergo rigorous testing and quality control measures to ensure they meet industry standards for strength, leak-tightness, and safety.

The main inputs required for the production of aluminium containers for compressed or liquefied gas include high-purity aluminium alloy, specialized machinery for forming and shaping the containers, and various components such as valves, fittings, and protective coatings. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in metalworking, engineering, and quality control.

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 industries such as 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 may also be consumed by industries involved in the distribution and supply of industrial, medical, and specialty gases.
