A representative sample was submitted with your ruling request. The product under consideration, item number H123, is a clear glass juice reamer with handle and pouring spout. The ridged and pointed center that extends from its shallow bowl is designed to extract juice from lemons, oranges, etc. The extraction process is done by cutting a citrus fruit in half and pressing it upside down on top of the ridged center, and twisting it back and forth. The juice then gathers in the bowl. The item measures approximately eight inches in diameter and can hold up to two cups of juice. You state in your letter that the value of this item is over thirty cents but not over three dollars. The applicable subheading for the glass juice reamer will be 7013.49.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for glassware of a kind used for...table (other than drinking glasses) or kitchen purposes other than that of glass-ceramics: other: other: valued not over three dollars each.
