U.S. imports of iron & steel cans for soldering or crimping closure (under 50 liters) (HS 731021) totaled $9.3M in April 2026, traded with 30 countries.
Importers of Iron & Steel Cans for Soldering or Crimping Closure (Under 50 Liters) paid $4.9M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 54% on $9.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPlain, unfitted iron or steel cans designed to be permanently closed by soldering or crimping — the standard closure method for aerosol, paint, and food-packaging cans — fall here when capacity is under 50 liters. The US schedule distinguishes circular cross-section cans in the 11.4-to-26.6-liter range (7310210025), aerosol-specific cans (7310210070), and other circular cans under 50 liters (7310210050 and 7310210075). Mexico is the leading supplier to the US market, reflecting deep integration in North American packaging supply chains, with China and Japan also significant sources. Section 232 steel tariffs apply to these articles, and importers should verify whether any product-specific exclusions are in effect.

The US schedule provides a dedicated line (7310210070) for circular cross-section cans under 50 liters intended for aerosol use, separating them from general-purpose cans in the same size range. The aerosol designation typically reflects design specifications — such as pressure rating and valve-mounting geometry — that differ from standard paint or food cans.
That range corresponds roughly to the standard 3-to-7-gallon industrial can sizes widely used in paint, chemical, and lubricant packaging. The US schedule carved out a dedicated line (7310210025) to allow more precise trade monitoring and, where applicable, targeted trade-remedy application for that commercially significant size bracket.
