|---|---|---|---|

What decides the code
An insulated stainless steel travel mug is a vacuum vessel under heading 9617, classified in 9617.00.10.00 when its capacity does not exceed 1 liter.
- The vacuum insulation between the stainless steel walls makes it a vacuum vessel of heading 9617, not ordinary drinkware.
- A capacity not exceeding 1 liter places it in 9617.00.10.00 rather than the lines for larger vessels.
- Stainless steel construction keeps it out of the glass inner provisions of heading 9617.
Common mistakes
- Classifying the mug in 7323 as stainless steel household tableware is wrong because the vacuum insulation makes heading 9617 the specific heading.
- Classifying it in 3924 as plastic drinkware is wrong when the body is stainless steel, since that heading covers plastic articles.
- Classifying it in 6912 as ceramic drinkware is wrong because the mug is metal, not ceramic.
