Does this apply to your product?

It likely does if you can answer yes to each of these:

  • Is it a storage bin or container made of plastic?
  • Is it designed to store and organize food items in the refrigerator?
  • Is it an open-top bin that is safe for food contact?

A no to any of them can mean a different code. A licensed broker can classify your product.
