Hand-Blown Murano Art Glass Vase from Japan

An intricately hand-blown decorative vase from Murano, Italy, featuring colorful swirled patterns and standing 12 inches tall, valued at $45. It falls under HTS 7013.99.90.90 as other glassware for indoor decoration valued over $5 each, not of lead crystal or specified drinkware. The artisanal craftsmanship qualifies it as a luxury decorative item rather than functional kitchenware.

Import Tips

• Verify appraised value exceeds $5 per unit with commercial invoice and obtain professional appraisal if handcrafted to avoid undervaluation penalties

• Ensure no lead content over 24% to stay out of lead crystal subheadings; provide lab test certificates for composition

• Label as 'decorative glassware' not for food contact to prevent reclassification as table/kitchen use
