Last updated: July 2026 dataBlow-molded and injection-molded plastic bottles serve as primary packaging across beverage, personal care, pharmaceutical, and household chemical sectors, making them one of the most widely traded rigid plastics categories. Classification at the 10-digit HTS level turns on resin type (PET, HDPE, PP, etc.), wall thickness, and intended use, distinctions that affect both duty treatment and any applicable Section 301 exposure on Chinese-origin goods. Importers sourcing from multiple origins should verify that bottle specifications—closure thread dimensions, food-contact compliance, and recycled-content declarations—align with both US Customs and FDA requirements for food-contact materials.

At the 10-digit HTS level, plastic bottles are typically subdivided by polymer composition—PET, HDPE, and other plastics each fall under distinct tariff lines with potentially different duty rates. Importers should confirm the dominant resin with the manufacturer and reference the applicable chapter notes before filing entry.
Plastic bottles originating from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs depending on the specific HTS subheading. Importers should review the current Section 301 product lists and any exclusion orders with a licensed customs broker before shipment.
