Hand-Blown Soda Lime Drinking Glass from China
A clear, hand-blown drinking tumbler made from soda-lime glass, designed for everyday table use, with a capacity of 12 ounces. It falls under HTS 7013.99.80 as glassware for table purposes valued between $3 and $5 each, not of lead crystal or specialized types. The simple shaping process qualifies it as finished glassware rather than unworked glass.

Import Tips
• Provide detailed invoices showing per-unit value to confirm $3-$5 range; undervaluation leads to penalties
• Label as 'table glassware' and include material composition (soda-lime) to avoid misclassification as lead crystal
• Check for lead content testing if appearance suggests crystal; non-lead keeps it in 7013.99
