7013.99.90.90 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 7013.99.90.90, encompasses a broad range of glassware not specifically enumerated in preceding subheadings within Chapter 70, and which are not of the kind used for table, kitchen, toilet, office, indoor decoration, or similar purposes that fall under headings 7010 or 7018. The "Other" designations at multiple levels indicate that this category serves as a residual for items that do not fit into more precise classifications. These are typically glassware items intended for purposes not readily categorized elsewhere, often with a value exceeding $5 each.

The primary distinction of this category from its sibling, 7013.99.90.10 ("Crystalline or non-lead crystal"), lies in the material composition and aesthetic properties. While 7013.99.90.10 specifically addresses crystal glassware, this current node is for all other types of glassware that do not meet those specific criteria and are valued over $5. This could include, for example, decorative glass objects, specialized laboratory glassware (not falling under specific industrial headings), or unique utilitarian glass items that don't fit into common table or kitchen categories and exceed the specified value threshold.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within this code is determined by the absence of specific descriptions in more granular HTS codes, its broad utilitarian or decorative function, and importantly, its value exceeding $5. Customs professionals will look to the overall nature and intended use of the glassware to determine if it properly belongs in this residual classification after all other applicable headings and subheadings have been considered.
