Like so many things, it depends on your point of view. I would tend more toward the Photographic Tools and Equipment if the bottles and boxes themselves were labeled as containing photographic toner or developer. But you would not necessarily be wrong if you classified them as Chemical Tools and Equipment, Merchandising Tools and Equipment or even Container (under Distribution and Transportation Artifacts). As I said, it depends on where you want to place the emphasis--on the containers, the chemicals within, or their intended use.

CHEMICAL T&E (Category 5: T&E for science and technology) ? Or PHOTOGRAPHIC T&E (Category 6: T&E for communication) ? Would you use the classification MERCHANDISING T&E for objects such as these? Thanks.
