Aluminium casks, drums, cans, boxes etc (including rigid, collapsible tubular containers), for materials other than compressed, liquefied gas, 300l capacity or less, lined, heat-insulated or not
In plain English
This heading covers aluminium containers such as casks, drums, cans, and boxes designed for holding materials other than compressed or liquefied gases, with a capacity of 300 litres or less. These items may be lined or heat-insulated, but they must not contain mechanical or thermal equipment. One category specifically includes collapsible tubular containers for any material, while the other covers similar rigid containers like casks and boxes that also lack mechanical or thermal fittings.

Chapter 76 classification notes
Frequent misclassification in this chapter
Aluminium alloys with specific compositions may classify differently. Articles made predominantly of aluminium but with other metal components — classify by the predominant metal.
