This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If made of polyethylene or polypropylene
Specific material subheading for boxes, cases, and similar containers takes precedence over the general 'other' plastic buckets.
If designed primarily for household use like cleaning

If capacity exceeds 22.71 liters
Larger capacity plastic buckets fall under the next size category within the same 'other' subheading series.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify exact capacity measurement in liters to confirm it falls between 11.36 and 22.71 liters; slight variations can shift classification
• Include material composition certificates proving polyethylene construction to avoid reclassification under other plastic articles
• Ensure lids are not permanently attached if classified with closures, as separate import may require different HTS
