Overview
This HTS category, 7310.29.00.65, encompasses "Other" containers of iron or steel, with a capacity not exceeding 300 liters, that do not fit into the more specific subheadings within the 7310.29.00 classification. These containers are intended for various materials, excluding compressed or liquefied gases, and can be lined or heat-insulated but are not equipped with mechanical or thermal machinery. The key defining characteristic is their residual nature, meaning they cover all containers of this type and capacity that are not otherwise enumerated under the preceding subheadings for smaller capacities or specific types.
To distinguish this category from its sibling, 7310.29.00.55, it is important to note that the sibling specifically enumerates refillable stainless steel kegs. Therefore, this category 7310.29.00.65 would include containers that are not stainless steel kegs, or are not refillable in nature, but otherwise meet the general criteria of iron or steel containers not exceeding 50 liters in capacity and not falling into any other more specialized provision.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under this heading therefore relies heavily on the negative criteria – if a container of iron or steel, with a capacity of less than 50 liters, is not a refillable stainless steel keg (7310.29.00.55) and is not specifically described in any preceding subheading, it will fall under this residual "Other" classification. Practical examples might include general-purpose small metal tins, small pails, or decorative boxes made of iron or steel that are not designed for specialized industrial uses or specific types of materials as defined by more precise classifications.
