This heading covers all glass containers of the kinds commonly used for the commercial conveyance or packing of liquids or of solid products (powders, granules, etc.). They include: (A) Carboys, demijohns, bottles (including siphons), jars and similar containers of all shapes and sizes, used for holding chemical products (acids, etc.), beverages, oils, meat extracts, perfumery products, pharmaceutical products, inks, glues, etc. These articles were formerly produced by blowing, but are now almost always made on special machines which automatically feed molten glass into moulds, where the finished articles are formed under the pressure of compressed air. They are usually made of ordinary glass (colourless or coloured), although some flasks (e.g., for perfumery) may be of crystal glass, and certain large carboys of fused quartz or other fused silica. The above-mentioned containers are usually designed to take a particular type of closure or stopper; these may be in the form of ordinary stoppers (of cork, glass, etc.), glass balls, metal caps, screw caps (of metal or plastics) or special devices (e.g., for beer bottles, aerated-water bottles, soda-water siphons, etc.). These containers remain in this heading even if ground, cut, sand-blasted, etched or engraved, or decorated (in particular, this applies to certain perfume flasks or liqueur bottles), ornamented with ribbon, covered with wickerwork or otherwise trimmed with various materials (osier, straw, raffia, metal, etc.); a small cup may be attached to their neck. They may also be fitted with dosing devices or be graduated, provided they are not glassware of a kind used in the laboratory. (B) Jars, pots and similar containers for the conveyance or packing of certain foodstuffs (condiments, sauces, fruit, jam, honey, etc.), cosmetic or toilet preparations (face creams, hair lotions, etc.), pharmaceutical products (ointments, etc.), polishes, cleaning preparations, etc.

These articles are generally made of ordinary glass (colourless or coloured) by pressing in a mould followed by blowing with compressed air. They usually have a wide mouth, a short neck and, as a rule, a ring or flange for the lid. Some of these containers may, however, be closed by ordinary or screw stoppers. Like bottles, these articles may be sand-blasted, cut, etched or engraved, decorated, trimmed with ribbons, etc. (C) Ampoules, usually made from drawn glass tubing and designed to serve, after sealing, as containers for sera or other pharmaceutical preparations, or for liquid fuel (e.g., ampoules of petrol for lighters), chemicals, etc. (D) Cylindrical and similar containers, generally obtained by lamp-working glass tubing or by blowing, used for the conveyance or packing of pharmaceutical products or for similar purposes. The heading also covers glass preserving jars. Lids of any material, presented with the containers for which they are intended, fall in this heading. The heading also covers stoppers and other closures of ordinary glass or of lead crystal, whether or not ground, cut, sand-blasted, etched or engraved, or decorated. It also includes glass balls used as stoppers; these are cut from glass blocks and machined after they have been given the shape of a sphere. The heading excludes: (a) bottles and flasks wholly or substantially covered with leather or composition leather (heading 4205); (b) glass inners for vacuum flasks or for other vacuum vessels (heading 7020); (c) decanters, drinking glasses and other glass containers constituting tableware (heading 7013), but not containers designed primarily for the commercial conveyance or packing of goods; (d) feeding bottles (heading 7013); (e) laboratory, hygienic or pharmaceutical glassware (heading 7017); (f) special display bottles and jars used in shops (heading 7020); (g) bottles, flasks, etc., for scent sprayers (heading 7013), scent sprayers (heading 9616), and vacuum flasks and other vacuum vessels (heading 9617).

(b) the cutting of the glass in its shape does not change its classification as sheet glass;

(c) the term “absorbing, reflective or non-reflective layer” means a microscopically thin coating with a metal or chemical compound (e.g., a metal oxide) that absorbs, for example, infrared radiation or improves the reflectivity of the glass while maintaining its degree of transparency or transmittance; or that prevents light from reflecting from the surface of the glass.

3. Articles falling within heading 7006 are also included where they have the character of finished articles.

4. For the purposes of heading 7019, the term “glass” means:
