Last updated: August 2026 dataGlass ampoules used for packaging and conveying goods — most commonly pharmaceutical injectables and laboratory reagents — are classified under a single 10-digit line (7010100000) and represent a specialized segment of pharmaceutical primary packaging. Mexico leads US import supply, with France, Germany, and Italy — all established centers of European pharmaceutical glass manufacturing — also prominent sources.

Pharmaceutical-grade glass ampoules are generally required to meet Type I borosilicate glass standards under USP or equivalent pharmacopeial specifications, which govern hydrolytic resistance and chemical inertness. Importers supplying drug manufacturers should confirm that certificates of conformance and test data accompany shipments, as downstream FDA-regulated customers will require this documentation.
Glass ampoules intended as primary packaging for FDA-regulated drug products may be subject to FDA admissibility review depending on their end use and the regulatory status of the filling operation. Importers should consult a licensed customs broker and, where applicable, FDA's import program to determine whether prior notice or other documentation is required.
