HTS heading 7010 is a broad product category for certain glass containers and glass closures used to convey or pack goods. It groups items such as bottles, jars, vials, ampoules, flasks, pots, preserving jars, and glass stoppers or lids. The key idea is that the item is a glass packaging container or closure, rather than ordinary glassware used mainly for serving, decorating, or another purpose.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS subheading, start with the heading and then follow the more detailed branches in the tariff schedule. These branches commonly distinguish the container’s type, capacity or other physical characteristics, intended packaging use, and sometimes the form of the closure. Confirm the product’s construction and commercial function against the exact wording and any applicable legal notes; an 8-digit selection should not be based only on a similar-looking product or a keyword search.
What to check
- Confirm that the item is made of glass and is principally used to convey or pack goods, rather than for household serving, decoration, or a specialized non-packaging use.
- Record the product type, such as bottle, jar, vial, ampoule, preserving jar, or closure, and measure capacity or dimensions when the subheading wording calls for them.
- Check whether the item is imported empty, with a closure, or as a separate stopper, lid, or other closure; read the subheading descriptions carefully for those distinctions.
- Review the complete 8-digit HTSUS text, section and chapter notes, and any relevant tariff-schedule definitions before classifying.
- Keep product specifications, photographs, invoices, and manufacturer information supporting the classification; ask a customs broker or request a binding ruling when the correct branch is uncertain.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
