7013.28.30.00 - Valued over $3 but not over $5 each

This HTS classification, 7013.28.30.00, specifically covers stemware drinking glasses that are not made of glass-ceramics and are valued at more than $3.00 but not more than $5.00 each. These glasses are characterized by having a stem connecting the bowl to the foot and are intended for serving beverages. The "cut or engraved" designation indicates that the glassware in this category features decorative patterns or designs achieved through cutting or engraving processes, distinguishing them from plain stemware within the same value range.

This subcategory differentiates itself from its sibling, 7013.28.40.00, based on its unit value. While both cover cut or engraved stemware, 7013.28.30.00 is for items valued at over $3 but not exceeding $5 each, whereas 7013.28.40.00 applies to stemware valued at over $5 each. The specific value threshold is a critical determinant for correct classification and associated duty rates.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is definitive at this level, meaning that stemware drinking glasses that are not of glass-ceramics, are cut or engraved, and fall within the specified price bracket are classified directly under this code. Importers should carefully verify the unit value of each individual item to ensure accurate classification.
