7013.99.90.10 - Crystalline or non-lead crystal

This HTS classification, 7013.99.90.10, specifically addresses glassware designed for table, kitchen, office, or decorative use that is made of crystalline or non-lead crystal and is valued at over $5 each. These items are characterized by their fine quality and clear, brilliant appearance, often associated with higher-end decorative or functional glassware. This category encompasses a wide array of items such as stemmed glasses, decorative bowls, vases, and figurines where the material composition of crystalline or non-lead crystal is a defining feature and the value threshold is met.

This specific subcategory is distinguished from its sibling, 7013.99.90.90 ("Other"), by its explicit requirement for the material to be crystalline or non-lead crystal. While both categories fall under "Other" glassware valued over $5 each, this node is for items with a specific glass composition that imparts a high degree of clarity, brilliance, and often, a greater weight and resonance compared to standard glass. The distinction hinges on the unique optical and physical properties inherent to crystalline and non-lead crystal glass.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification under 7013.99.90.10 relies on accurately identifying the product as glassware intended for the specified purposes, confirming its crystalline or non-lead crystal composition, and verifying that its individual value exceeds $5. The "Other" designation at this level indicates that it captures all remaining items meeting these criteria that are not specifically listed in preceding, more granular subheadings.
