HS HEADING 7309

Reservoirs, tanks, vats and similar containers; for any material (excluding compressed or liquefied gas), of iron or steel, capacity exceeding 300l, whether or not lined or heat insulated

In plain English

This category covers iron or steel containers like reservoirs, tanks, and vats that hold more than 300 liters of any material, excluding compressed or liquefied gas. These items may be lined or heat insulated, or they may not be. There is only one classification for these goods, so no further division is made within this group.

Chapter 73 classification notes

Heavily subject to trade defense measures. US Section 232 tariffs (25%) apply to most steel imports. EU safeguard quotas in effect. Anti-dumping duties common on Chinese, Indian, and Turkish steel.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Stainless steel articles should be classified under the specific stainless steel headings, not general iron/steel. Alloy steel has its own subheadings.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
