Overview
This HTS classification, 7010.90.05.30, specifically covers glass containers of a kind used for the conveyance or packing of goods, or as preserving jars, with a defined capacity. The key defining characteristic for this category is a volume that exceeds 0.15 liters but does not exceed 0.33 liters. These containers are typically used for smaller quantities of products, often in single-serving or specialized packaging applications within the pharmaceutical or fine chemical industries, among others.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 7010.90.05.10 and 7010.90.05.20, is crucial for accurate classification. While all fall under the broader "Other" category for pharmaceutical containers, this specific sub-classification is for containers with intermediate capacities. It differs from 7010.90.05.10 which are for capacities exceeding 1 liter and 7010.90.05.20 for capacities exceeding 0.33 liter but not exceeding 1 liter. Conversely, it is distinct from 7010.90.05.40, which encompasses containers with a capacity not exceeding 0.15 liters.
As a leaf node within the HTS structure, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification into 7010.90.05.30 relies solely on the material (glass), the intended use (conveyance, packing, or preserving), and the precise volume measurement. It is important for customs professionals to accurately measure or ascertain the capacity of the glass container to ensure it falls within the stated parameters of exceeding 0.15 liters and not exceeding 0.33 liters.
