HS Code 7611.00 – Aluminium; reservoirs, tanks, vats and similar containers, for material (not compressed or liquefied gas), of a capacity over 300l, whether or not lined, not fitted with mechanical/thermal equipment

HS code 7611.00 is the 6-digit subheading for aluminium, reservoirs, tanks, vats and similar containers, for material (not compressed or liquefied gas), of a capacity over 300l, whether or not lined, not fitted with mechanical/thermal equipment. It is used for industrial storage tanks, chemical processing vats, large water reservoirs, bulk liquid transport containers and brewery fermentation tanks.

What HS 7611.00 covers

This HS code covers large-capacity aluminium containers, such as reservoirs, tanks, and vats, designed for storing or transporting materials other than compressed or liquefied gases, with a capacity exceeding 300 liters. These industrial-grade vessels are crucial for sectors like chemical processing, food and beverage production, pharmaceuticals, and bulk liquid storage, where corrosion resistance, hygiene, and lightweight properties are paramount. International trade in these goods involves specialized manufacturers exporting to industrial buyers, engineering firms, and large-scale processing plants globally. Key considerations for importers and exporters include specific industry standards, material compatibility (e.g., internal linings), structural integrity for heavy loads, and compliance with environmental and safety regulations. The market is driven by industrial expansion, infrastructure development, and the need for durable, efficient storage solutions.

Codes often confused with 7611.00

Common mistake. This code can be confused with 761300 (containers for compressed/liquefied gas) due to similar appearance, but 761100 is specifically for non-gas materials. Also, 761290 covers smaller containers (under 300L).

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
