Overview
This HTS classification, 7010.90.50.15, specifically covers glass containers designed for the conveyance or packing of goods, such as bottles, jars, and flasks, that have a mouth with an outer diameter measuring 38 millimeters or more. These containers fall under the broader category of "Other containers (with or without their closures)" and are further defined by their capacity, being greater than 0.473 liters but not exceeding 1 liter. The defining characteristic for this specific sub-classification is the significant mouth diameter, indicating a design intended for larger openings and potentially specific filling or dispensing needs.
This category is distinguished from its sibling, 7010.90.50.19, which represents "Other" containers within the same capacity range but lacking the specific mouth diameter criterion. Therefore, if a glass container of this capacity does not meet the 38 mm outer diameter requirement for its mouth, it would be classified under the sibling code. The focus here is on the physical dimension of the opening as a key differentiator for classification.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories. The classification is complete at this level, with the combined criteria of glass material, container type for goods, specific capacity range, and the measured outer diameter of the mouth defining the covered products. Examples of items that would fall under this classification include certain types of glass beverage bottles, food jars, or laboratory-style containers where a wider opening is a functional requirement.
