7013.42.20.00 - Valued not over $3 each

This HTS subcategory, 7013.42.20.00, specifically covers glassware designed for table or kitchen use, excluding drinking glasses and items made of glass-ceramics. The crucial defining characteristic within this group is that the individual articles must have a value not exceeding $3 each. These goods are made of glass exhibiting a linear coefficient of expansion not exceeding 5 x 10-6 per Kelvin within a temperature range of 0°C to 300°C, indicating a material with relatively low thermal expansion.

The distinction between this category and its siblings lies solely in the per-item valuation. Category 7013.42.30.00 encompasses similar glassware but with a value exceeding $3 but not over $5 each, while 7013.42.40.00 covers articles valued at over $5 each. Therefore, a meticulous assessment of the declared customs value per individual unit is essential for correct classification within this specific branch of the HTS.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories under 7013.42.20.00. Classification at this level is determined by the material's thermal expansion properties and the per-item value, in conjunction with its intended use for table or kitchen purposes. Examples might include certain types of serving dishes, small bowls, or ovenproof ramekins that meet the specified value threshold.
