Overview
This HTS classification, 7010.90.05.10, specifically designates glass containers designed for the conveyance or packing of goods, including pharmaceutical applications, that possess a capacity exceeding 1 liter. These items are distinct from other containers within the 7010.90.05 series by their substantial volume. This subcategory is reserved for larger vessels such as carboys, demijohns, and significant-sized jars or bottles that are intended for bulk storage or transport.
The primary distinguishing factor for this classification is the explicit volume threshold. It encompasses containers that hold more than 1 liter of product. For example, a large glass demijohn used for fermenting beverages or a substantial glass jar for preserving bulk foodstuffs, both exceeding 1 liter in capacity, would fall under this heading. In contrast, sibling categories cover containers with smaller volume specifications, ranging from those exceeding 0.33 liters but not 1 liter, down to those not exceeding 0.15 liters.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the focus for classification under 7010.90.05.10 rests solely on verifying that the glass container's capacity indeed surpasses the 1-liter mark, in addition to meeting the broader criteria of being a container for the conveyance or packing of goods as outlined in the parent category 7010.90.05.
