U.S. imports of iron & steel tanks, drums, and containers (50–300 liter capacity) (HS 731010) totaled $5.8M in April 2026, traded with 32 countries.
Importers of Iron & Steel Tanks, Drums, and Containers (50–300 Liter Capacity) paid $1.7M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 36% on $4.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataImports of iron and steel drums, barrels, kegs, and similar plain containers in the 50-to-300-liter range are subject to Section 232 tariffs on steel articles, a factor that significantly affects landed cost calculations for buyers sourcing from outside USMCA partners. The US schedule breaks this heading into stainless steel refillable kegs (7310100005), empty steel drums and barrels across two dedicated lines (7310100010 and 7310100015), and residual tanks, casks, and boxes (7310100050 and 7310100090). These containers serve chemical, petroleum, food-processing, and industrial-packaging sectors where UN-certified drum specifications and gauge requirements drive classification decisions. Canada and Mexico are the leading suppliers, with China, Italy, and Germany also contributing meaningfully to US import volumes.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The schedule separates stainless steel refillable kegs (7310100005) from empty steel drums and barrels in two additional lines (7310100010 and 7310100015), with a catch-all for other tanks, casks, cans, and boxes in the remaining lines. Classification turns on material (stainless vs. other steel), whether the container is a refillable keg, and whether it fits a more specific description.
Yes. Iron and steel containers under HTS heading 7310 are generally within scope of Section 232 measures on steel articles. Importers should confirm applicability with a licensed customs broker, as product-specific exclusions and country-level agreements can affect the actual duty treatment.
