Overview
This HTS category, 7612.90.50.00, encompasses "Other" aluminum casks, drums, cans, boxes, and similar containers, as well as rigid or collapsible tubular containers. These containers are designed for the storage or transport of any material, excluding those for compressed or liquefied gases. Crucially, their capacity must not exceed 300 liters, and while they may be lined or heat insulated, they are not equipped with mechanical or thermal machinery.
This "Other" classification serves as a residual category for containers that meet the general criteria of heading 7612 but do not fit within more specific subheadings. It specifically differs from sibling category 7612.90.10, which exclusively covers aluminum containers with a capacity not exceeding 20 liters. Therefore, 7612.90.50.00 applies to aluminum containers with a capacity greater than 20 liters but not exceeding 300 liters, provided they meet all other stipulations of the parent heading.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 7612.90.50.00. Classification into this category relies on verifying that the article is made of aluminum, falls within the specified container types, has a capacity between 20 and 300 liters (inclusive), and is not designed for compressed or liquefied gases, nor fitted with mechanical or thermal equipment. Examples include larger aluminum storage drums for food products, industrial chemicals (excluding gases), or robust aluminum boxes for shipping non-gas materials.
