HS Code 7613.00 – Aluminium; containers for compressed or liquefied gas

HS code 7613.00 is the 6-digit subheading for aluminium, containers for compressed or liquefied gas. It is used for scuba diving tanks, medical oxygen cylinders, industrial gas cylinders (argon, nitrogen), fire extinguisher cylinders and CO2 cartridges.

What HS 7613.00 covers

This category specifically covers aluminium containers designed for holding compressed or liquefied gases. These specialized cylinders and tanks are engineered to withstand high pressures, making them indispensable for critical applications across various industries. They are widely used in healthcare for medical oxygen, in industrial manufacturing for gases like argon and nitrogen, for recreational activities such as scuba diving, and for specialty gas mixtures. The trade involves highly specialized manufacturers and buyers in the medical, industrial gas, and recreational sectors. Key aspects include robust construction, precise pressure ratings, stringent safety certifications (e.g., DOT, ISO), and compatibility with specific valve systems. The lightweight nature of aluminium offers a significant advantage in portability compared to steel alternatives, driving its adoption in many applications.

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).
