The "International Classification of Goods and Services for Trademark Registration" provides general principles for classifying goods and services. Applicants can check it. Generally speaking, the names of goods or services listed in the category title shall in principle constitute the general name of the scope to which these goods or services roughly belong. So to determine the classification of each good or service, look at the alphabetical classification list. If a commodity cannot be classified according to the classification table, the following instructions point out various feasible standards:

(1) In principle, finished products are classified according to their functions or uses. If none of the various category headings refer to the function or use of a manufactured product, the manufactured product is classified by reference to other similar manufactured products in the alphabetical classification list. If there are no similar ones, classification can be based on auxiliary criteria, such as by the raw materials of the finished product or the method of its operation.

(2) Multi-functional combined finished products (such as a combination product of a clock and a radio) can be classified into all categories corresponding to the functions or uses of its components. If these functions or uses are not addressed by the various class headings, the criteria shown in clause (1) may be applied.

(3) Raw materials, unprocessed products or semi-finished products are in principle classified according to their raw materials.

(4) If a commodity forms part of other products, and the commodity cannot be used for other purposes under normal circumstances, the commodity shall in principle be classified in the same category as the product it constitutes. All other cases are classified according to the criteria shown in clause (1).

(5) When finished products or non-finished products are classified according to their raw materials, if they are made of several different raw materials, they should in principle be classified according to their main raw materials.

(6) Special containers used to hold commodities shall, in principle, be classified into the same category as the commodities.
