Product description
The merchandise at issue consists of four types of pump dispensers imported with their reservoirs. The dispensers, identified as Items A through D, largely resemble one another in form and function, though their reservoirs are made of different materials. Item A features a reservoir made of ceramic material, Item B has a reservoir made of resin material, Item C’s reservoir is made of glass, while Item D’s reservoir is made of aluminum. The pump dispensers are designed to dispense the contents of the reservoir when the pump mechanism is manually actuated. In this respect, the dispensers at issue resemble the soap pump dispensers described in New York Ruling Request N249630, dated February 4, 2014.
