Last updated: August 2026 dataAluminum cylinders and vessels designed to store compressed or liquefied gases — including oxygen, CO₂, and specialty industrial gases — are classified under a single 10-digit line (7613000000) with no further US schedule subdivision. These containers must meet DOT or equivalent foreign pressure-vessel standards, and importers should be prepared to provide certification documentation at entry.

Aluminum containers for compressed or liquefied gas imported into the US must generally comply with US Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations under 49 CFR, which govern cylinder design, testing, and marking. Foreign cylinders may be accepted if they meet equivalent standards recognized by DOT (such as certain ISO or UN specifications), but importers must verify that markings and test records satisfy CBP and DOT requirements before the containers can be placed into service.
The critical distinction is intended use and design: 761300 covers containers specifically engineered to hold gases under compression or in liquefied form, with pressure-rated construction. HTS 761100 covers plain, unfitted containers over 300 liters used for liquids or bulk materials at or near atmospheric pressure. Technical drawings, pressure ratings, and valve/fitting configurations are the key evidence for making this determination.
