7013.28.20.10 - Crystalline or non-lead crystal

This HTS category, 7013.28.20.10, specifically classifies stemware drinking glasses, excluding those made of glass-ceramics, that are constructed from crystalline or non-lead crystal glass. The defining characteristic here is the material composition; these glasses are crafted to mimic the appearance and clarity of traditional lead crystal but without the lead content, adhering to modern safety and environmental standards. The "crystalline or non-lead crystal" designation ensures that items meeting these material specifications are appropriately categorized within the broader "stemware drinking glasses" group.

This subcategory is distinguished from its sibling, 7013.28.20.90 ("Other"), by the precise material used. While 7013.28.20.90 would encompass stemware drinking glasses made from other types of glass, this specific code is reserved for those demonstrably manufactured from crystalline or non-lead crystal glass. The parent category, "Stemware drinking glasses, other than of glass-ceramics," provides the foundational definition, and this subcategory refines it based on the specific glass composition, further narrowing the scope to non-lead crystal variants.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within 7013.28.20.10 relies on meeting the criteria of being stemware drinking glasses, not made of glass-ceramics, and being composed of crystalline or non-lead crystal glass. The value threshold of "Valued over $0.30 but not over $3 each" is a critical component for accurate classification, ensuring that the customs value aligns with the specific pricing tier for these types of crystal stemware. Examples would include wine glasses, champagne flutes, and brandy snifters made from clear, high-refractive index glass that does not contain lead.
