## How to choose
- Is the bin made of plastic? → 3924.90
- Is it made of wood or woven material? → 4421.9X or 4602.90
- Is it fabric or soft material? → 6307.90
- Is it ceramic or porcelain? → 6912.00
- Is it metal (steel or aluminum)? → 7323.93 or 7615.10
- Is it designed to stand on the floor or ground? → 9403
## Overlaps & pitfalls
A bin can qualify for multiple codes if it combines traits (e.g., a stainless steel floor-standing bin fits both 7323.93 and 9403). If so, prioritize **structural function** (floor-mounted) over material unless the material is the defining feature. Avoid confusion: “plastic” vs. “textile” or “wicker” vs. “wood.”
