7002.10.20.00 - Other

HTS code 7002.10.20.00, under the broader category of "Glass in balls (other than microspheres of heading 7018), rods or tubes, unworked," specifically encompasses balls made of glass that do not fall under the sibling category of those not exceeding 6 mm in diameter. This means the classification applies to glass balls with a diameter greater than 6 mm, provided they are in an unworked state. The term "unworked" generally refers to glass in its primary manufactured form, prior to further processing such as cutting, grinding, polishing, or decorative treatments.

This category is distinguished from HTS code 7002.10.10.00, which is designated for glass balls with a maximum diameter of 6 mm. Therefore, the key distinguishing factor for 7002.10.20.00 is the size of the glass ball, specifically being larger than 6 mm in diameter. Both categories fall under the broader heading of unworked glass in ball form, differentiating solely based on their dimensional characteristics.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 7002.10.20.00 is determined by the material (glass), the form (balls), the state of work (unworked), and importantly, the diameter exceeding 6 mm. Examples of goods that would fall under this classification include larger glass marbles, solid glass spheres intended for industrial applications before further processing, or glass spheres used as decorative elements in their raw, unworked state, provided their diameter is over 6 mm.
