I'm testing new Firefox container feature but can't seem to find how to move existing tabs to a specific container.

Is open blank tab in said container then pasting URL the only solution?

Tabs can be assigned to containers via:

Switch Container adds a toolbar icon which gives a list of the containers from which to select.

Keyboard

Search and Switch Containers allows you to switch the current tab's container by going to to the location bar and typing:

co <container name>

The container can not be changed for existing tabs, it can only be assigned when creating new tabs. There is an enhancement request filed for that, bug 1323873, maybe you could leave a comment there describing your precise use-case to show interest in that feature.
