Ice scoops [barware] 021-584

On 03-05-2015, the 06-01-2001 entry was modified by inserting the bracketed wording to clarify the nature of the goods. Ice scoops are classified in Class 21 as household or kitchen utensils. Ice scoops (being barware) are different from hand-operated scooping tools in Class 8, which are generally used to transfer unspecified amounts of bulk materials, such as sugar or rice, from a bag to a container, for example (or for transferring ice cubes from an ice machine to an ice bucket). For classification purposes, the key distinction for scoops in Class 8 and scoops in Class 21 is whether the scoops are for transferring unspecified amounts of materials or foods, or for serving or portioning foods.
