Does this apply to your product?

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

  • Is it a household utensil used when preserving food in jars?
  • Is it made of plastic?
  • Does one end go into a filled jar to release air bubbles before sealing?
  • Does it have marks for measuring the headspace in the jar?

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