Overview
This HTS category, specifically HTS 9505.10.10.00, encompasses Christmas ornaments that are exclusively made of glass. These items are designed for the decoration of Christmas trees, homes, and other settings during the Christmas season. Examples include glass baubles, glass figurines intended for tree decoration, glass icicles, and other decorative glass elements that serve a festive purpose related to Christmas. The primary classification criterion here is the material of construction, which must be glass.
It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, "Other" under HTS 9505.10. This sibling category would cover Christmas ornaments made from materials other than glass, such as plastic, metal, wood, or fabric. Therefore, an ornament made entirely of glass will fall under this specific sub-heading, whereas ornaments composed of different materials, or mixtures where glass is not the predominant material and a more specific provision doesn't apply, would be classified under the residual "Other" provision.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is determined by the strict definition of a Christmas ornament made from glass. If an item meets the criteria for a Christmas ornament and is made of glass, it is classified here. If it is a Christmas ornament made of a different material, or if it is a part or accessory of a Christmas ornament made of glass, further review of the HTS would be necessary.
