## How to choose
- Is the container made of plastic? → 3924.10
- Is it made from fired clay and primarily decorative? → 6911.10
- Is it transparent and used for high-quality or visible products? → 7010.90
## Overlaps & pitfalls
A glass bottle with a plastic cap may still be classified as glass (7010.90), but the material of the cap doesn’t change the main body classification. Porcelain bottles are rare for vinegar/oil, so if it’s functional and not decorative, it likely belongs in 3924.10 or 7010.90. No option clearly takes priority—choose based on the **primary material of the container body**
