Questions
HS code 761290: common questions
What is HS code 761290?
HS code 761290 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Aluminium casks, drums, cans, boxes and similar containers (including rigid or collapsible tubular containers), for any material (other than compressed or liquefied gas), of a capacity not exceeding 300 litres, whether or not lined or heatinsulated, but not fitted with mechanical or thermal equipment : Other". The first two digits (76) are the chapter — Aluminium and articles thereof — and digits 3-4 (7612) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 761290?
Common products classified under 761290 include aluminum cans, aluminum drums, aluminum boxes, aluminum containers, aluminum pails and similar items matching aluminium casks. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 761290?
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.
Is HS code 761290 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (761290) 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.
Can I trust the HS code a 1688 supplier gives me?
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.
