What determines the tariff number?
- Container type. Whether your item is a bottle, flacon, balloon, or basket bottle affects classification. Different container designs are classified separately under Swiss tariff rules.
- Size and capacity. The capacity or volume of the glass container is a key classification criterion. Containers of different sizes may receive different tariff numbers.
- Intended use. Whether the glass bottle is designed for transport, packaging, or preservation purposes influences its classification. The intended application can determine the tariff number assigned.
- Closures and fittings. Glass-made closures, caps, stoppers, and other attachments may alter classification. Bottles with special fittings are often classified separately from plain bottles.
