7310.29.00 - Other
Sub-classifications
Overview
This HTS category, 7310.29.00, encompasses "other" containers of iron or steel with a capacity not exceeding 300 liters, specifically those with a capacity of less than 50 liters. These containers are designed for the storage or conveyance of various materials, excluding compressed or liquefied gases, and may be lined or heat insulated but not fitted with mechanical or thermal equipment.
This category serves as a residual classification for containers of this size and material that do not fit into the more specific sibling category, 7310.21.00. The sibling category is reserved for cans that are specifically designed to be closed by soldering or crimping, implying a distinct manufacturing method and closure mechanism. Therefore, 7310.29.00 covers all other types of iron or steel containers meeting the general criteria and capacity limitations, but lacking the specific closure method of the sibling.
Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification. One subcategory addresses containers of a circular cross-section with a specific volume capacity between 11.4 and 26.6 liters, intended for the conveyance of goods. The subsequent "Other" subcategory acts as a further residual, encompassing any remaining containers that fall under 7310.29.00 but do not meet the specific criteria of the circular cross-section, volume-specific containers.
