7013.99.30.00 - Smokers' articles; perfume bottles fitted with ground glass stoppers

This HTS category, 7013.99.30.00, specifically covers smokers' articles and perfume bottles that are fitted with ground glass stoppers. This classification is part of the broader group of glassware used for table, kitchen, toilet, office, or indoor decoration. The defining characteristic here is the presence of a ground glass stopper, which creates a secure and airtight seal, often found in items designed for containing perfumes, essences, or for use in smoking rituals.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7013.99.35.00, is crucial. While 7013.99.35.00 exclusively addresses votive-candle holders, this category is broader, encompassing items beyond candle holders. The key differentiator for 7013.99.30.00 is the dual requirement of being either a smoker's article or a perfume bottle, *and* possessing a ground glass stopper. Therefore, a decorative glass bottle without a ground glass stopper, or a glass item clearly not intended for smoking or perfumery, would not fall under this specific heading.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 7013.99.30.00 is final for eligible goods, based on the explicit criteria of being a smoker's article or a perfume bottle fitted with a ground glass stopper. This emphasizes the importance of detailed product identification and the specific features of the glassware for accurate tariff assignment.
