Overview
This HTS classification, 7015.90.20.00, encompasses watch glasses and similar glass items that are not specifically categorized as "Round" under the sibling 7015.90.10.00. The primary distinction lies in the shape. While "Round" explicitly refers to circular watch glasses, this "Other" category covers watch glasses of any other form, including square, rectangular, oval, or irregularly shaped. The key is that these are designed for use in watches or similar timekeeping devices, serving as protective covers or lenses.
These glasses, like their round counterparts, are generally not optically worked for corrective purposes but are fabricated with specific dimensions and curvatures to fit particular watch models. The exclusion of optically worked lenses means that items intended for spectacles or eyewear fall under different HTS headings, even if they are curved or shaped glass. This category is focused solely on the functional requirements of timekeeping instruments.
As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, its scope is precisely defined by what it includes and excludes based on the descriptive text and its position within the hierarchical structure of Chapter 70. Classification within this code relies on the item being a watch glass or analogous glass for a timekeeping device, and not being specifically round.
