Important Considerations & Recommendations:

• Capacity is Key: The most important factor in determining the correct HS code is the actual capacity of the jars. Accurately measure the capacity in liters.
• Closure Type: The reference specifies "with or without their closures." If the jars are sold with airtight lids/closures made of glass, these codes apply.
• Material Confirmation: Ensure the jars are exclusively made of glass. If any other materials are used (e.g., plastic lids, metal bands), a different HS code may be required.
• Tax Rate: Both 7010.90.50.05 and 7010.90.50.55 currently have a total tax rate of 55.0% (0% base tariff + 25% additional tariff, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025).
• Further Verification: If the jars have specialized features (e.g., temperature resistance, specific chemical resistance), consult with a customs broker to ensure the most accurate classification.
• Declaration Accuracy: It is crucial to declare the correct HS code to avoid delays, penalties, and potential issues with customs clearance.
