Samples of the five bowls were submitted with your ruling request. These samples were sent to our Customs and Border Protection Laboratory for analysis. Our laboratory has now completed its analysis of these samples. The diameters of the five bowls measure 6.5 inches, five inches, 4.5 inches, four inches and 3.5 inches, respectively. In your letter you state that the value of each of these bowls is not over three dollars. In the information submitted with your ruling request, the products were described as consisting of “tempered” glass. However, analysis of the samples by our CBP laboratory determined that the glass which comprises these bowls is not specially tempered (pressed and toughened). The applicable subheading for the glass storage bowls with plastic lids (product number 4010) will be 7013.49.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for glassware of a kind used for table (other than drinking glasses) or kitchen purposes other than that of glass-ceramics: other: other: valued not over three dollars each. The rate of duty will be 22.5 percent ad valorem. Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change.
