Product description
The submitted illustration depicts an injection molded plastic product, called an Ice Jacket. It is designed to encase in ice, for the purpose of service and presentation, a bottle of liquor or another product that freezes at a temperature below that of water. The Ice Jacket is a multi-part injection molded assembly and may be made of a variety of polymers ranging from polypropylene to polycarbonate and others. Initially, the product will be made of polypropylene. The Ice Jacket consists of a sleeve, a base grip, clips, a tray and a plug, all made of polypropylene. The bottle is placed on the base, the sleeve is slipped over the bottle, and the clips attach the sleeve to the base. The assembly is then inverted and water is introduced through an aperture within the bottom of the base grip. The plug is then inserted into the aperture. The assembly is then inverted again, and placed in a common household or commercial freezer, until the water within the assembly freezes around the bottle. The assembly is then removed from the freezer, the clips are opened, and the sleeve is removed. The bottle is now encased in ice. The bottle remains standing within the base grip, which in turn, is placed within the tray, which elevates the frozen assembly, for the purpose of display, and catches any water that may drip from the ice.

The applicable subheading for the Ice Jacket will be 3924.10.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for tableware, kitchenware, other household articles…of plastic: tableware and kitchenware: other.
