(1)	(2)	(3)
Plastic bottle made of polyethylene with stopper and a round base form.The product has a height of around 20 cm and a capacity of 0,5 litre.The product is designed for insertion into the holder for bottles on bicycles, and it is used for the conveyance of beverages.(See photo)	39233010	Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 3923, 392330 and 39233010.As the product is a plastic bottle with a stopper containing no other elements such as, for example, detachable drinking cups, and as it is used for the conveyance of beverages for refreshment, it cannot be considered to be a tableware, kitchenware or other household article of heading 3924. Consequently, classification under heading 3924 is excluded.The product being an article for the conveyance or packing of goods is therefore to be classified under heading 3923 (see Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to heading 3923, point (a) of the first paragraph).
