HS-6 · Subheading
Aluminium; reservoirs, tanks, vats and similar containers, for material (not compressed or liquefied gas), of a capacity over 300l, whether or not lined, not fitted with mechanical/thermal equipment
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
Use HS-6 761100 when importing or exporting large aluminum reservoirs, tanks, or vats designed for holding non-compressed liquids. For example, a shipment of a 500-liter aluminum tank used for storing water would fall under this code.
This code specifically applies to containers with a capacity exceeding 300 liters, distinguishing it from HS-6 761101, which covers smaller aluminum containers. If your product is a 250-liter aluminum vat, you would need to classify it under the latter.
Aluminum reservoirs classified under this HS-6 are not fitted with mechanical or thermal equipment, which means they are simple storage solutions. This is different from HS-6 761200, which includes tanks with added features for heating or cooling.
When considering this code, ensure that the tanks are indeed over 300 liters and made of aluminum. If the tanks are lined or insulated, that does not affect the classification, as long as they meet the capacity requirement.
