HS Code 731021

HS code 731021 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Tanks, casks, drums, cans, boxes and similar containers, for any material (other than compressed or liquefied gas), of iron or steel, of a capacity not exceeding 300 l, whether or not lined or heatinsulated, but not fitted with mechanical or thermal equipment : Of a capacity of less than 50 l : Cans which are to be closed by soldering or crimping". The first two digits (73) are the chapter — Articles of iron or steel — and digits 3-4 (7310) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 731021 include solder can, crimp can, tin can, metal can and similar items matching cans which are to be closed by soldering or crimping. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.

The first 6 digits (731021) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.

Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
