Overview
Category 7010 encompasses a broad range of glass containers primarily designed for the conveyance or packing of goods. This includes everyday items such as carboys, bottles, flasks, jars, and pots, all fashioned from glass. It also specifically includes preserving jars made of glass. Furthermore, this category extends to include glass stoppers, lids, and other closures intended for use with these glass containers, highlighting the integral role of glass in sealing and protecting packaged goods.
Distinguishing Category 7010 from its sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification. Unlike unrelated chapters dealing with live animals, vegetable products, or mineral substances, 7010 is specifically dedicated to finished glass articles with a primary function of containment or sealing. While other chapters might contain articles made of glass, the defining characteristic of 7010 is the intended use of the glass item for conveying, packing, or preserving, or as a closure for such purposes.
Within Category 7010, subcategories further refine the classification based on the specific type of glass article. For instance, 7010.10.00.00 precisely identifies ampoules, which are small, sealed glass vials typically used for pharmaceuticals. The subcategory 7010.20 is designated for stoppers, lids, and other closures made of glass, differentiating them from the containers themselves. Finally, 7010.90 serves as a residual category for all other glass containers covered by the main heading that do not fit into the more specific subcategories, ensuring comprehensive coverage for diverse glass packaging solutions.
