Last updated: April 2026 dataRigid aluminum cans, drums, casks, and boxes not exceeding 300 liters are among the most commercially active packaging categories in Chapter 76, covering everything from standard beverage cans (capacity not exceeding 355 ml, under lines 7612901030โ7612901045) to aerosol cans, mid-size containers up to 3.8 liters, and larger drums up to 300 liters. Mexico is the primary US supplier, with Germany and France also significant sources. The heading's granular size-based breakdowns mean that even small differences in stated capacity can shift a shipment across tariff lines, making accurate volume documentation essential.

The US tariff schedule under 761290 draws a specific line at 355 ml โ the standard North American beverage can size. Cans at or below that volume fall under lines 7612901030, 7612901040, or 7612901045 (with aerosol cans separated out), while cans exceeding 355 ml but under 3.8 liters fall under 7612901060. Importers must document actual measured capacity, not nominal marketing size, to ensure correct line assignment.
Yes. Although both may share the same physical capacity range, aerosol cans are specifically broken out under 7612901040, separate from standard cans at the same capacity. The distinction matters because aerosol containers may also be subject to additional review depending on the propellant or contents, and the tariff treatment can differ. Shippers should clearly identify aerosol versus non-aerosol construction on commercial invoices.
