Last updated: August 2026 dataLamp-worked glass figurines, ornaments, and decorative articles — along with non-prosthetic glass eyes used in taxidermy, dolls, and display — are grouped here, spanning artisanal craft traditions from India, Italy, and beyond. India leads US supply under this heading, followed by China, Italy, Cambodia, and Vietnam, a mix that captures both high-volume decorative production and specialized artisan glasswork. The US schedule separates non-prosthetic glass eyes (7018901000) from lamp-worked statuettes and ornaments (7018905000), so importers of taxidermy supplies and decorative figurines should sub-classify carefully.

Non-prosthetic glass eyes — used in taxidermy mounts, dolls, stuffed animals, and display mannequins — are classified under 7018901000. Prosthetic ocular devices designed for implantation or wear by human patients are medical devices classified in Chapter 90. The distinction turns on whether the article is intended for human medical use; prosthetic eyes would also be subject to FDA medical device entry requirements.
Classification under 7018905000 requires both that the article is made by the lamp-working technique (shaping molten glass rods or tubes over a flame) and that it is an ornament or decorative article rather than imitation jewelry. Lamp-worked beads assembled into jewelry would shift to Chapter 71. The production method is relevant as a classification indicator, but the article's ultimate form and use are the controlling factors.
