7612.90.10.45 - Other

This HTS classification, 7612.90.10.45, covers aluminum cans specifically designed for packaging with a capacity not exceeding 355 milliliters. These are distinct from other aluminum containers by their precise volume limitation and their primary function as primary packaging for various goods. This category encompasses a broad range of small aluminum cans used across diverse industries, from food and beverage to cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

It is crucial to differentiate this category from its sibling, 7612.90.10.40, which is reserved for aluminum cans with a circular cross-section specifically intended for aerosol propellants. The key distinguishing factor here is the intended use; while both are small aluminum cans, 7612.90.10.45 is for general-purpose containment, not for pressurized dispensing systems. This classification is a leaf node, meaning there are no further subdivisions within this specific code. Therefore, classification into this code is determined by meeting the criteria of being an aluminum can, with a capacity not exceeding 355 ml, and not being a circular aerosol can.
