Product description
The first submitted sample (item #18412) is a frosted green-colored glass stand measuring seven inches in diameter. There are three feet attached to its base; each foot measures one half inches. You indicated that the unit value for this item is $0.50. The second submitted sample (item #88014) is a gold-colored crackled glass bowl with metal stand. The bowl measures approximately six inches in diameter. The stand measures approximately seven inches in diameter and is adorned with three metal leaves on the rim. The unit value for the glass bowl is $1.44. In your presentation, you suggest that both articles should be regarded as candle holders and classified as non-electrical lamps or lighting fittings in subheading 9405.50.40, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS). However, the glass stand and glass bowl are simply general purpose household articles. These products are capable of holding a variety of miscellaneous household items and therefore are not classifiable in subheading 9405.50.40, HTS.
