Last updated: July 2026 dataPressure vessels and cylinders of iron or steel designed to store compressed or liquefied gas — including propane tanks, industrial gas cylinders, and seamless high-pressure bottles — are classified here and must comply with US Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations governing cylinder design, testing, and marking before they may be filled or placed in service. The US schedule distinguishes seamless steel containers not overwrapped and meeting exemption criteria (7311000030), other certified or exempt pressure containers (7311000060), and all remaining iron or steel pressure containers (7311000090). Mexico is the leading supplier, followed by India and China. Importers should confirm DOT specification compliance and any applicable Section 232 steel tariff treatment with a licensed customs broker.

The US Department of Transportation (DOT) regulates the design, manufacture, testing, and marking of compressed gas cylinders under 49 CFR. Imported cylinders must meet applicable DOT specifications or special permits before they can be filled or transported in commerce. Importers should verify that foreign manufacturers hold the required approvals and that cylinders bear proper DOT markings at the time of entry.
Yes. The US schedule under this heading includes a dedicated line (7311000030) for seamless steel containers that are not overwrapped and meet specific exemption criteria, separate from other certified or exempt containers (7311000060) and the general residual line (7311000090).
