There is a threaded metal cap with an attached acrylic dauber to apply the perfume. The cap is attached to a small length of chain and a split ring. The ring may be used either as a key ring or to attach the bottle to a purse or belt. You state that the perfume bottle holder will be sold as a promotional item and suggest classification in heading 3923, which provides for articles for the conveyance or packing of goods.
