Plastic sandwich container and plastic water bottle, item #N23789HTS 3924.10.4000Tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and hygienic or toilet articles, of plastics: Tableware and kitchenware: Other

Explanation

Heading 3924 names tableware, kitchenware and other household articles of plastics. CBP placed the sandwich container and the water bottle, item #N23789, together on the line for other plastic tableware and kitchenware; the container is polypropylene and the bottle body is PET, with a polypropylene lid and spout.

Does this apply to your product?

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

  • Is it a sandwich container or water bottle made of plastic?
  • Are the lid and drink spout also plastic?
  • Is it safe for food and drink contact?

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