What moves the price
For jerry can, the drivers are UN certification, material, liner, closure type, stacking strength, capacity, tamper evidence, jis compliance — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Pricing moves most on material and compliance: steel UN diesel cans sit far above basic HDPE liquid cans, while custom printing, spouts/lids, and fire-resistant/UN-rated construction add cost. Realistic sourcing routes are China marketplaces for custom OEM runs, US wholesalers for stocked metal or plastic cans, and landed-equivalent import quotes for large-volume private label programs. Lead times commonly run about 15 working days for made-to-order Asian supply, but US-distributor stock can ship faster if customization is minimal
