Glass bottle harmonized system code

Product Overview The Glass Bottle under the Harmonized System (HS) Code 7010 refers to carboys, bottles, flasks, jars, pots, phials, ampoules, and other containers, made of glass, with or without their closures. These are designed for the conveyance or packing of goods. The key characteristics of these glass bottles include their durability, transparency, and resistance to heat, chemicals, and UV light. They are made via processes such as blow molding and injection molding, ensuring high quality and consistency. Within the HS Code 7010, there are several subcategories such as Glass Bottles for pharmaceuticals (7010.90) or for perfumes and cosmetics (7010.10). Glass bottles have versatile commercial applications across multiple industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and home goods. They offer a value proposition of being reusable, recyclable, and environmentally friendly, providing a competitive edge in markets increasingly concerned with sustainability. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The complete 6-digit HS Code for Glass Bottle is 7010.90 under the chapter 70 (Glass and glassware), heading 10 (Carboys, bottles, flasks, jars, pots, phials, ampoules and other containers, of glass, of a kind used for the conveyance or packing of goods; preserving jars of glass; stoppers, lids and other closures, of glass). This product is classified under this code because of its specific features and applications in the conveyance or packaging of goods. Trade considerations for these glass bottles include standard packaging in corrugated boxes to ensure safe transportation and preservation from breakage or damage. Shipping requirements typically involve careful handling due to the fragile nature of glass. Glass bottles comply with various quality standards such as ISO 9001 for Quality Management and ISO 14001 for Environmental Management. The usage of precise technical terminology in these standards ensures compliance with World Trade Organization and customs documentation standards, and facilitates easy understanding and classification by trade professionals.
