3923.90.00.14 - 11.36 liters (3 gallons) or more, but not more than 22.71 liters (6 gallons) 🖩

This HTS classification specifically covers plastic buckets and pails, with or without lids or other closures, designed for the conveyance or packing of goods. The defining characteristic of this category is its capacity. Goods falling under 3923.90.00.14 must have a volume of not less than 11.36 liters (3 gallons) and not more than 22.71 liters (6 gallons). This size range is critical for accurate classification and applies whether the container is intended for industrial, commercial, or household use.

This classification is distinct from its sibling categories based solely on volumetric capacity. For example, items with a capacity less than 11.36 liters (3 gallons) would be classified under 3923.90.00.12, while those with a capacity of 22.71 liters (6 gallons) or more fall under 3923.90.00.16. The material composition must be plastic, and the primary function must be for conveying or packing goods, consistent with the broader scope of heading 3923.

As a leaf node, this HTS code does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification is definitively determined by the aforementioned capacity range in conjunction with the material (plastic) and intended use. Importers and exporters should carefully measure the volume of their plastic buckets and pails to ensure they are correctly classified within this specific capacity bracket.
