## How to choose
- Is it made of plastic? → 3924.10
- Is it made of wood? → 4419
- Is it made of glass? → 7013.10,7013.4X
- Is it made of porcelain or china? → 6911.10
- Is it made of ceramic (not porcelain)? → 6912.00
- Does it use a mechanical lever/screw and weigh under 10 kg? → 8210.00
- Is it metal and used as a hand tool? → 8205.51
## Overlaps & pitfalls
- A metal squeezer with a lever (e.g., steel screw press) fits both **7323.9X** and **8205.51**, but **8205.51** takes priority if it's a hand tool.
- Glass or ceramic squeezers may look decorative, but **7013.XX** and **6912.00** are material-based—use the actual material.
- If unsure, prioritize **material** over mechanism unless the product is clearly a mechanical appliance
