Overview
This HTS category, 9902.14.75, specifically covers unworked glass in the form of balls. These glass balls are not finished articles and are characterized by their size, with each ball measuring over 3 millimeters but not exceeding 6 millimeters in diameter. It's important to note that this classification excludes microspheres, which are handled under heading 7018, and any glass in ball form that has undergone further processing or is incorporated into made-up articles. The classification of these glass balls is further referenced under subheading 7002.10.10, indicating their primary categorization within the broader glass and glassware chapters of the HTS.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Classification decisions within this code will therefore hinge on the precise physical attributes of the glass balls, specifically their diameter falling within the 3 mm to 6 mm range, and the absence of any manufacturing or assembly that would constitute a "made-up article." This detailed specification ensures that only granular, unworked glass spheres of this particular size range are classified here, differentiating them from larger glass balls, glass marbles intended for play, or other forms of processed glass.
