7010.90.50

Analysis

HTS 7010.90.50 covers other: other containers (with or without their closures) under heading 7010 (carboys, bottles, flasks, jars, pots, vials, ampoules and other containers, of glass, of…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 11 ten-digit suffixes, reported in gross.

This line's footnotes point to one additional provision in Chapter 99: 9903.90.08 (measures on products of Russia). Chapter 99 duties are added on top of the general rate for goods of the countries they name, and they change more often than the rest of the schedule, so check the current CBP guidance before you rely on a total.

Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 5.2%. The costliest confusion would be with 7010.90.30 (containers (with or without their closures) of a kind used for the…) at 5.2%, a difference of 5.2 points on the customs value.

The ten-digit suffixes separate having a mouth with an outer diameter…, having a mouth with an outer diameter…, having a mouth with an outer diameter…, having a mouth with an outer diameter…, having a mouth with an outer diameter… and of a capacity not exceeding 0.118 liter. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.

There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 28% of the 192 tariff lines in chapter 70 that are also free. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
