7310.29.00.20 - Refillable stainless steel kegs, whether or not pressurized, of a kind described in statistical note 1 to this chapter 🖩

This HTS classification, 7310.29.00.20, specifically covers refillable stainless steel kegs. These containers are designed for the storage and transportation of various materials, excluding compressed or liquefied gases, and must have a capacity not exceeding 300 liters. A key defining characteristic is their construction from stainless steel and their refillable nature, as further clarified by statistical note 1 to chapter 73. The capacity of these kegs is a crucial factor in their classification.

Within the broader category of "Containers, of circular cross section, of a volume capacity between 11.4 liters and 26.6 liters, of a kind used for the conveyance of goods," this specific subheading differentiates itself from its sibling, 7310.29.00.30 ("Other"). The distinguishing feature is the material and the explicit mention of stainless steel construction for refillable kegs, whereas the "Other" subheading would encompass non-stainless steel containers or those not specifically meeting the refillable keg criteria.

As a leaf node in the HTS structure, 7310.29.00.20 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this subheading relies on meeting all the specified criteria: being a refillable keg, constructed of stainless steel, not exceeding 300 liters in capacity, and adhering to the guidelines outlined in statistical note 1. Examples of goods commonly transported in such kegs, such as beverages or specialized chemicals, would fall under this classification provided they meet the physical and material specifications.
