Yes, if the aluminium container is fitted with mechanical or thermal equipment, it does not qualify for HS-4 7611.

How can I ensure my product is classified correctly?

Review the product specifications carefully, focusing on capacity and whether it includes any mechanical or thermal fittings.

Can I use HS-4 7611 for lined aluminium tanks?

Consult with a customs broker or trade compliance expert for guidance on the appropriate HS code for your products.

HS-4 · Heading

7611 — 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

Chapter 76: Aluminium and articles thereof

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 7611 when importing or exporting aluminium reservoirs, tanks, or vats with a capacity exceeding 300 liters, such as large storage containers for liquids like water or chemicals. These items may be lined or unlined and do not include any mechanical or thermal equipment.

When deciding between HS-6 761100 and other potential codes, focus on the specific characteristics of your product. If your aluminium container is designed solely for non-compressed or non-liquefied gases and exceeds the 300-liter threshold, it falls under this heading. Ensure that your product does not have any fittings for mechanical or thermal equipment, as this would change its classification.

If you are unsure whether your product fits under HS-4 7611, consider the material and intended use. For example, a large aluminium tank used for storing water would qualify, while a tank with integrated heating elements would not. It's crucial to accurately assess the features of your product to avoid misclassification.
