7013.22.10.00 - Valued not over $1 each

This HTS category, 7013.22.10.00, specifically classifies stemware drinking glasses, excluding those made from glass-ceramics, that are made of lead crystal and are valued at not over $1 each. Lead crystal, a type of glass characterized by a significant lead oxide content, imparts a particular brilliance and weight to these items. The "stemware drinking glasses" designation signifies that these are vessels with a foot, stem, and bowl designed for the consumption of beverages.

The distinguishing factor for this particular subheading is the unit value. It differentiates these glasses from closely related sibling categories that cover stemware of lead crystal with higher per-unit valuations. For instance, 7013.22.20.00 covers similar glasses valued over $1 but not over $3 each, while 7013.22.30.00 and 7013.22.50.00 address progressively higher value tiers. Therefore, the precise valuation per item is the critical criterion for correct classification within this group.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 7013.22.10.00. The classification is complete once the product is identified as stemware drinking glasses of lead crystal and its unit value is determined to be $1 or less. Importers and exporters must ensure accurate valuation reporting to comply with customs regulations.
