7013.28.10.00 - Valued not over $0.30 each

This HTS classification, specifically 7013.28.10.00, pertains to stemware drinking glasses, other than those made of glass-ceramics, which are valued at $0.30 or less per individual unit. This category encompasses a broad range of drinking vessels designed for various beverages, distinguished by the presence of a stem, foot, and bowl. Examples include champagne flutes, wine glasses, cocktail glasses, and sherry glasses, provided they meet the specified value threshold and are not classified under headings 7010 (carboys, bottles, jars, etc.) or 7018 (glass beads, imitation gems, etc.).

The primary distinguishing factor for this specific subcategory, 7013.28.10.00, is its low per-unit value. It is distinct from its sibling categories which differentiate based on higher value brackets. Specifically, sibling category 7013.28.20 covers similar stemware drinking glasses valued between $0.31 and $3.00 each, while another sibling category addresses those exceeding $3.00 each. Therefore, the critical determinant for classification here is the cost per item.

As this classification represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. The classification is definitive for stemware drinking glasses that are not made of glass-ceramics and have a declared value not exceeding $0.30 per piece. Importers must carefully consider the unit value when classifying these goods to ensure accurate duty assessment and compliance with customs regulations.
