Last updated: April 2026 dataSmaller iron and steel containment products — tanks, casks, drums, and cans with a capacity not exceeding 300 liters — are workhorses of industrial packaging, chemical distribution, and hazardous-materials logistics. Steel drums in this size range are widely traded globally and may be subject to Section 232 tariffs on steel articles, a factor that significantly influences sourcing decisions. Correct classification requires distinguishing these general-purpose containers from pressure vessels designed for compressed or liquefied gas, which are classified under a separate heading.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
This heading covers general-purpose containers — drums, casks, cans, and tanks — not engineered to withstand the internal pressures of compressed or liquefied gas. Pressure vessels for compressed air or liquefied gas are classified under a separate heading (69243) and are subject to different technical and regulatory standards.
Steel articles, including drums and cans, are broadly subject to Section 232 tariffs, though country-specific quota arrangements and exclusions exist. Importers should confirm the current status for their specific origin country with a licensed customs broker prior to importation.
