Aluminum Jar

An aluminum jar is a container typically cylindrical in shape, manufactured from aluminum. It is widely utilized for storing various substances due to aluminum's inherent properties.

Material

The primary material is aluminum, often alloys of aluminum for increased strength, corrosion resistance, and formability. Common alloys include 3003, 5052, and 6061 aluminum. The interior surface may be coated with a polymer lining to prevent interaction between the aluminum and the stored contents, particularly for sensitive products.

Purpose

Aluminum jars serve as protective packaging for a broad range of items, including:

• Cosmetics: Creams, lotions, powders, balms, and other personal care products.
• Pharmaceuticals: Ointments, creams, and solid medications.
• Food & Beverage: Spices, herbs, teas, honey, and certain processed foods.
• Industrial Products: Lubricants, adhesives, coatings, and specialty chemicals.
• Arts & Crafts: Paints, pigments, and other materials.

Function

The primary functions of an aluminum jar include:

• Protection: Shielding contents from light, air, moisture, and contamination. Aluminum is an excellent barrier material.
• Preservation: Maintaining the quality, potency, and shelf life of stored products.
• Containment: Securely holding the substance, preventing leakage or spillage.
• Portability: Providing a convenient and easily transportable packaging solution.
• Recyclability: Aluminum is highly recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly packaging option.

Usage Scenarios

• Retail Packaging: Commonly used for consumer products sold in stores.
• Laboratory Use: Suitable for storing samples and chemicals in a controlled environment.
• Manufacturing & Industrial Applications: Employed for packaging and transporting raw materials and finished goods.
• Personal Storage: Utilized for homemade products or repackaging items.

Common Types

• Seamless Aluminum Jars: Manufactured from a single piece of aluminum, offering superior strength and leak resistance. Often used for pressurized products or sensitive contents.
• Two-Piece Aluminum Jars: Consist of a body and a lid, typically sealed with a screw-on cap. More cost-effective for general-purpose applications.
• Aluminum Crimp Neck Jars: Feature a crimped neck for a secure closure, often used for cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
• Wide Mouth Aluminum Jars: Facilitate easy filling and dispensing of products.
• Narrow Neck Aluminum Jars: Provide a controlled dispensing method, suitable for liquids and powders.
• Pressurized Aluminum Jars: Designed to contain pressurized contents, commonly used for aerosol products.
• Lined Aluminum Jars: Interior coated with a polymer film (epoxy phenolic, polyester, etc.) to prevent chemical reactions between the aluminum and the stored product.

Aluminum jars fall under several potential classifications depending on their specific characteristics, primarily capacity and intended use. Here's a breakdown of relevant HS codes based on the provided information:

• 7612100000: This code covers aluminum casks, drums, cans, boxes, and similar containers (including rigid or collapsible tubular containers) for any material (other than compressed or liquefied gas), with a capacity not exceeding 300 liters, whether or not lined or heat insulated, but not fitted with mechanical or thermal equipment. Specifically, it includes collapsible tubular containers.
  • 76: Aluminum and aluminum articles.
  • 12: Aluminum casks, drums, cans, boxes and similar containers.
  • 100000: Collapsible tubular containers.
• 7612905000: This code also covers aluminum casks, drums, cans, boxes, and similar containers (including rigid or collapsible tubular containers) for any material (other than compressed or liquefied gas), with a capacity not exceeding 300 liters, whether or not lined or heat insulated, but not fitted with mechanical or thermal equipment, but categorizes them as "Other."
  • 76: Aluminum and aluminum articles.
  • 12: Aluminum casks, drums, cans, boxes and similar containers.
  • 905000: Other.
• 7615107125: This code applies to table, kitchen, or other household articles and parts thereof, of aluminum; pot scourers and scouring or polishing pads, gloves and the like, of aluminum; sanitary ware and parts thereof, of aluminum. More specifically, it covers cooking and kitchen ware that is not enameled or glazed and does not contain nonstick interior finishes, and are containers suitable for food preparation, baking, reheating or storage, with a thickness of 0.04 mm or more but not over 0.22 mm.
  • 76: Aluminum and aluminum articles.
  • 15: Table, kitchen or other household articles and parts thereof.
  • 107125: Cooking and kitchen ware; Not enameled or glazed; Containers suitable for food preparation, baking, reheating or storage; 0.04 mm - 0.22 mm thickness.

Regarding HS code 7615107125, please note the specific thickness requirement (0.04 mm to 0.22 mm) for this classification. If the aluminum jar's thickness falls outside this range, it would not be appropriate.
