7010.90.20.40 - Of a capacity not exceeding 0.15 liter

This HTS category, 7010.90.20.40, specifically classifies glass containers, produced by automatic machines, with a capacity not exceeding 0.15 liters. These are typically small glass vessels designed for the conveyance or packing of goods, often found in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, or specialty food industries. Examples include miniature perfume bottles, sample vials, small condiment jars, or tiny artisanal product containers.

The defining characteristic of this subcategory is its limited capacity. It is distinguished from its sibling categories by this precise volume measurement. For instance, 7010.90.20.10 covers containers exceeding 1 liter, while 7010.90.20.20 and 7010.90.20.30 encompass larger capacities. This subcategory is for the smallest automatically produced glass containers within this broader grouping.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. The classification is finalized at this level based on the material (glass), the production method (automatic machine), and the specific, small capacity of the container. Therefore, accurate identification relies on confirming these attributes and ensuring the container is not specifically designed for unique, enumerated purposes that might fall under a different HTS heading.
