7013.49.50 - Valued over $3 but not over $5 each

This HTS category, 7013.49.50, specifically covers glassware of a kind used for table or kitchen purposes, excluding drinking glasses and items made of glass-ceramics. The defining characteristic for classification within this subcategory is the value of the individual item. These goods are identified as being valued at over $3 but not over $5 each. This valuation criteria is crucial for distinguishing these items from other glassware within the same broader heading.

The primary distinction for this category lies in its value threshold compared to its sibling category, 7013.49.60, which encompasses similar table or kitchen glassware but is valued at over $5 each. Therefore, an importer must meticulously determine the unit value of each piece of glassware to ensure accurate classification. The scope is further refined by excluding items explicitly classified under heading 7010 (carboys, bottles, etc.) or 7018 (beads, imitation jewelry, etc.), and by not including glass-ceramics.

Within this specific value range, the subcategories further subdivide based on material composition. Category 7013.49.50.10 applies to items made of crystalline or non-lead crystal glass, often characterized by their clarity, brilliance, and weight. In contrast, category 7013.49.50.90 encompasses all other glassware that meets the value criteria but is not specifically designated as crystalline or non-lead crystal. This allows for precise classification of a wide array of table and kitchen glassware within a defined price point.
