7013.49.20.10 - Crystalline or non-lead crystal

This HTS category, 7013.49.20.10, specifically classifies glassware used for table or kitchen purposes, excluding drinking glasses and those made of glass-ceramics. The defining characteristic here is that these items are made from crystalline or non-lead crystal glass. This material composition is a critical factor for accurate classification, distinguishing them from other glassware in this heading.

The "Other" designation at this level indicates that these items are not specifically enumerated in preceding subcategories. Within this "Other" classification, the distinction between 7013.49.20.10 and its sibling, 7013.49.20.90, rests entirely on the material. While both may be table or kitchen glassware (other than drinking glasses or glass-ceramics), this particular code is for items made of crystalline or non-lead crystal, whereas the sibling code covers all other types of such glassware.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification under 7013.49.20.10 depends on a careful assessment of the merchandise to confirm it meets the criteria of being table or kitchen glassware (not drinking glasses), not made of glass-ceramics, and importantly, composed of crystalline or non-lead crystal glass. Examples of items that could fall under this category include crystal serving dishes, decorative bowls, and certain types of crystal bakeware or food preparation items, provided they are not drinking glasses.
