7010.10.00.00 - Ampoules

This HTS subheading, 7010.10.00.00, specifically classifies glass ampoules. Ampoules are small, hermetically sealed glass containers designed for single doses of liquid medications, vaccines, or other sterile preparations. Their primary purpose is the safe and sterile storage and transportation of sensitive substances, ensuring their integrity until use.

Unlike sibling categories such as "Stoppers, lids and other closures" (7010.20) or "Other" containers within heading 7010, this subheading is exclusively for ampoules. While other glass containers listed in heading 7010 might be used for general conveyance or packing of goods, ampoules are distinguished by their specialized design for containing and dispensing precise quantities of sterile liquids, often in a medical or laboratory context.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under 7010.10.00.00 rests on identifying articles that meet the specific definition and intended use of a glass ampoule.
