Last updated: September 2026 dataCarboys, bottles, flasks, jars, vials, and similar glass containers used for conveying or packing goods represent one of the most granularly subdivided headings in Chapter 70, with the US tariff schedule parsing lines by end-use sector (pharmaceutical, perfume/toilet preparations, and general), capacity bracket, mouth diameter, and whether a closure is included. Mexico and China are the leading suppliers to the US market, with India and Canada also prominent. Glass containers intended as primary pharmaceutical packaging may be subject to FDA admissibility review; importers should verify requirements with a licensed customs broker before entry.

The granular breakdown by capacity (e.g., over 1 liter, 0.33–1 liter, 0.15–0.33 liter, etc.) and mouth diameter (wide-mouth vs. narrow, and whether the outside diameter is 38 mm or greater) reflects both duty-rate differentiation and the practical need to align tariff lines with distinct commercial product categories — such as food jars, beverage bottles, pharmaceutical vials, and cosmetic flacons — each of which has different competitive dynamics and trade patterns.
Classification between pharmaceutical-specific lines and general container lines depends on the bottle's design intent and the nature of the goods it is made to contain. Bottles manufactured to pharmacopeial specifications (e.g., Type I or Type II glass, specific dimensional tolerances) and sold into pharmaceutical supply chains are typically classified under the pharmaceutical container lines. When the intended use is ambiguous, a binding ruling request to CBP is the most reliable path to certainty.
