Overview
This HTS category, 7010.90.05.20, specifically classifies glass containers designed for the conveyance or packing of goods, with a defined capacity range. These are not general-purpose glassware but rather containers intended for the secure and transportable holding of substances. The defining characteristic for this sub-classification is their volume, which must exceed 0.33 liters but not exceed 1 liter. Examples include bottles for beverages, sauces, or personal care products, as well as jars for food items, all falling within this specified capacity.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. Unlike 7010.90.05.10, which covers larger containers exceeding 1 liter, or 7010.90.05.30 and 7010.90.05.40 which address smaller capacities (0.33 liters and under), this group occupies a specific mid-range volume. The precise measurement of the container's internal capacity is the primary determinant when differentiating between these closely related sibling categories within the broader heading of glass containers.
As a leaf node within the HTS, 7010.90.05.20 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification relies solely on meeting the criteria of being a glass container used for conveyance or packing of goods, and falling within the specified volume range of greater than 0.33 liters and not exceeding 1 liter. The broader context of Chapter 70, "Glass and glassware," and heading 7010, "Carboys, bottles, flasks, jars, pots, vials, ampoules and other containers, of glass...", establishes the material and general purpose, with this specific code refining the classification by capacity.
