Sec.  134.23  Containers or holders designed for or capable of reuse.



    (a) Usual and ordinary reusable containers or holders. Except for 

goods of a NAFTA country which are usual containers, containers or 

holders designed for or capable of reuse after the contents have been 

consumed, whether imported full or empty, must be individually marked to 

indicate the country of their own origin with a marking such as, 

``Container Made in (name of country).'' Examples of the containers or 

holders contemplated are heavy duty steel drums, tanks, and other 

similar shipping, storage, transportation containers or holders capable 

of reuse. These containers or holders are subject to the treatment 

specified in General Rule of Interpretation 5(b), Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (19 U.S.C. 1202).

    (b) Other reusable containers or holders. Containers or holders 

which give the whole importation its essential character, as described 

in General Rule of Interpretation 5(a) (19 U.S.C. 1202), must be 

individually marked to clearly indicate their own origin with a marking 

such as, ``Container made in (name of country).'' Examples of the 

containers contemplated are mustard jars reusable as beer mugs; shaving 

soap containers reusable as shaving mugs; fancy cologne bottles reusable 

as flower vases, and other containers which have a lasting value or 

decorative use.
