Last updated: August 2026 dataRigid plastic containers used for liquid packaging — from small pharmaceutical vials (capacity not exceeding 50 ml, line 3923300010) to large-format carboys and industrial flasks (3923300090) — serve the beverage, chemical, and personal-care industries as primary packaging. Canada leads supply under this heading, with China and Mexico also significant sources. The capacity-based split between the two 10-digit lines is a common classification issue: importers must measure actual internal volume, not nominal label size, to assign the correct line.

CBP measures the actual internal volumetric capacity of the container, not the fill volume or labeled serving size. A bottle nominally sold as a '50 ml' product but with a brim-full capacity slightly above 50 ml would classify in the NESOI line (3923300090). Importers should obtain certified capacity measurements from the manufacturer when the volume is near the threshold.
Generally no. When a plastic bottle is imported filled with goods, CBP classifies the shipment by the contents (the beverage or other fill), not the container, under GRI 5(b) and relevant chapter notes. Empty plastic bottles and carboys imported separately classify under 3923.
