HTS code for glass vase: document glass type, decoration, and use

Planning Use only. Broker review required for Entry Use.

A glass vase file needs glass article facts. The product may be a flower vase, decorative vessel, candle holder, terrarium, bottle, jar, lamp base, or set of assorted shapes. The review depends on use, glass type, size, decoration, whether it is filled, and whether any metal or wood parts are included.

Use this page to prepare the Planning Use record before broker review. The file should show the vase as imported and keep decorative vessels separate from drinkware, packaging, and lighting parts.

quick answer

For "hts code for glass vase", collect glass type, dimensions, weight, opening, decoration, color, whether it is hand-blown or molded if supported, stand or metal frame, set count, intended use, origin, and supplier code.

A clear glass flower vase is not the same file as a candle jar, glass bottle, terrarium, hurricane lamp shade, or decorative set with metal stand. The use and construction should be documented.

facts to collect for a glass vase

Collect:

Product name, invoice wording, SKU, and product page.
Exterior, interior, base, rim, decoration, packaging, and set photos.
Glass type if known: soda-lime, borosilicate, crystal, lead-free crystal, recycled glass, or unknown.
Article type: flower vase, decorative vase, terrarium, candle holder, jar, bottle, lamp shade, or set component.
Dimensions, opening diameter, color, decoration, etched design, paint, metal frame, wood base, or stand.
Whether the vase is empty, filled, packed with artificial flowers, or part of a gift set.
Country of origin and production support.
Supplier HS or HTS code and source notes.

If the vase is filled with wax, stones, flowers, or lights, list those contents. If it is a lamp shade or bottle, do not call it a vase without support.

missing facts

Mark the file incomplete when:

Article use is unclear.
Glass type or crystal claim is unsupported.
Filled versus empty status is not documented.
Set contents, frame, stand, or decoration are not listed.
Vase versus jar, candle holder, bottle, or lamp part status is unclear.
Origin is assumed from shipment route.
Supplier code is unsupported.
Similar CBP CROSS rulings have not been checked.

These gaps can move the review between glass decorative articles, vases, candle holders, jars, bottles, lighting parts, and filled gift sets.

HTS candidate notes

Build candidate rows for the actual article: glass vase, decorative glass article, candle holder, terrarium, glass jar, bottle, lamp part, or vase set. Each row should cite a use or construction fact.

Rejected alternatives should stay in the record. If the item is not packaging because it is sold as decor, say that. If it is designed to hold candles rather than flowers, keep that path visible.

authority sources

Use USITC HTS for tariff text. Use CBP CROSS for glass vases, decorative glass articles, candle holders, jars, bottles, and lamp parts.

planning path

Start with use and shape photos. Then write a table for glass type, article type, dimensions, decoration, set contents, origin, and supplier code. If the product page calls it both a vase and candle holder, keep both descriptions in the record.

Duty stack notes should include origin and glass-specific exposure tied to the candidate path.

planning boundary

This glass vase HTS page is a planning artifact. It is not an Entry Use classification, not a binding ruling, and not a legal opinion. The importer remains responsible for reasonable care and must obtain broker or customs authority review before filing.
