3604.10.90.10 - Class 1.4G (Class C)

This HTS category, 3604.10.90.10, specifically covers Class 1.4G fireworks. Class 1.4G, also known as Class C in some regulations, refers to fireworks that present a relatively low hazard during transport. These typically include consumer fireworks designed for entertainment, such as sparklers, fountains, and small aerial devices that produce visual or audible effects with a minimal risk of explosion or projection of projectiles. The classification is based on the intrinsic properties of the pyrotechnic composition and the intended use of the article.

While the broader category 3604.10.90 encompasses various "Other" fireworks not specifically detailed elsewhere, this subcategory (3604.10.90.10) narrows the scope to those meeting the specific safety and hazard criteria of Class 1.4G. This distinction is critical for determining appropriate packaging, labeling, and transportation regulations, differentiating them from higher hazard classes of pyrotechnic articles. The sibling category, 3604.10.90.50, would likely cover other "Other" fireworks that do not fall under the Class 1.4G designation.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is definitive and relies on the precise identification of the fireworks as Class 1.4G, as determined by testing and regulatory standards for hazard classification. This ensures that the correct duties, taxes, and import/export compliance measures are applied based on the specific type and risk profile of the pyrotechnic article.
