7010.90.30.40 - Of a capacity not exceeding 0.15 liter

This HTS classification, 7010.90.30.40, specifically covers glass containers of a kind used for the conveyance or packing of goods, which are of a capacity not exceeding 0.15 liters. These are typically small glass receptacles, such as miniature bottles, vials, or small jars, designed for packaging or transporting liquids or solids in small quantities. This category includes containers intended for various purposes, including but not limited to, sample packaging, small-sized consumer products, or pharmaceutical vials.

The crucial distinguishing factor for this category lies in its very small capacity. It differs from its sibling categories by the precise volume of the container. For instance, 7010.90.30.30 covers containers with capacities exceeding 0.15 liters but not exceeding 0.33 liters, 7010.90.30.20 covers those exceeding 0.33 liters but not exceeding 1 liter, and 7010.90.30.10 encompasses containers exceeding 1 liter. Therefore, containers classified under 7010.90.30.40 are exclusively those with a volume of 0.15 liters or less.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is determined by the precise capacity limit, differentiating it from other glass containers within the broader scope of Chapter 70. The focus remains on the material (glass) and the primary function as a container for conveyance or packing, with the sub-classification driven solely by the specified volume threshold.
