Legal and explanatory notes for 7018100000
7018 10 11 CN Explanatory Notes: Cut and mechanically polished
Cut and mechanically polished beads falling in this subheading are distinguished from ‘heat-polished’ beads of subheading 7018 10 19 by their perfectly smooth facets and sharp edges. Furthermore, the ends of the holes are often faceted (sometimes, also polished) and have sharp-cut edges corresponding to the adjacent facets, whereas the ends of the holes in ‘heat-polished’ beads are often rounded and do not meet the facets in a sharp edge. It is mainly the articles referred to in the first paragraph, item 2, of the explanatory note to subheadings 7018 10 11 and 7018 10 19 which are most often cut and mechanically polished.
7018 10 19 CN Explanatory Notes: and 7018 10 19
Glass beads These subheadings include: 1. the articles described in the HS Explanatory Note to heading 7018, second paragraph, (A); 2. similar articles known commercially as ‘glass beads’, consisting of glass beads of larger sizes (up to approximately the size of a walnut). These articles, mostly intended for the manufacture of necklaces and bracelets, are put up in very varied forms (for example, spheres, hemispheres, teardrops, dice, cylinders, small tubes, cones, polyhedrons) and are also pierced right through. Small tubes are regarded as glass beads for the purposes of these subheadings if their external diameter and length do not exceed 4 mm and 24 mm respectively. They should not be confused with special standardised tubes of lead glass of the type used for the manufacture of incandescent lamps and tungsten lamps; tubes of this type are usually colourless and fall in heading 7002. The articles falling in these subheadings are normally put up in bulk, in bags, in boxes, etc. These subheadings also include glass beads of identical size and colour strung together without separating knots and without means of fastening, for convenience of transport and for packing purposes. Such strings are usually tied in bundles by the free ends of their threads and do not, therefore, constitute assemblies normally ready for use. The following are excluded from these subheadings: (a) strings of beads (whether or not tied in bundles) in which beads of different sizes or colour are arranged in a regular fashion (for example, by alternating the colours or sizes in a regular fashion or by stringing the beads in order of size) or in which the beads are separated by knots (heading 7117); (b) strings of beads (even if containing only beads of identical size, colour or manufacture) which include fastenings or similar mechanisms or which are in short lengths suitable for wear as necklaces (heading 7117).
7018 10 30 CN Explanatory Notes: Imitation pearls
This subheading covers the articles described in the HS Explanatory Note to heading 7018, second paragraph, (B). As regards strings of imitation pearls, the explanatory note to subheadings 7018 10 11 and 7018 10 19 applies, mutatis mutandis.
7018 10 51 CN Explanatory Notes: Cut and mechanically polished
The cut and mechanically polished imitation precious and semi-precious stones of this subheading are distinguished from similar ‘heat-polished’ articles of subheading 7018 10 59 by their perfectly smooth facets and sharp edges.
7018 10 59 CN Explanatory Notes: and 7018 10 59
Imitation precious or semi-precious stones These subheadings cover the articles described in the HS Explanatory Note to heading 7018, second paragraph, (C).
7018 10 90 CN Explanatory Notes: Other
This subheading includes imitation coral, beads and cabochons (other than imitation pearls or imitation precious and semi-precious stones) for the heads of hat-pins, drops for ear-clips and small glass tubes for making up into fringes. With regard to the distinction between the small glass tubes falling in this subheading and those regarded as glass beads for the purposes of subheadings 7018 10 11 and 7018 10 19, see the second paragraph of the explanatory note to those subheadings.

For the purposes of headings 7003, 7004 and 7005 : (a) glass is not regarded as ‘worked’ by reason of any process it has undergone before annealing; (b) cutting to shape does not affect the classification of glass in sheets; (c) the expression ‘absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer’ means a microscopically thin coating of metal or of a chemical compound (for example, metal oxide) which absorbs, for example, infra-red light or improves the reflecting qualities of the glass while still allowing it to retain a degree of transparency or translucency; or which prevents light from being reflected on the surface of the glass. 3. The products referred to in heading 7006 remain classified in that heading, whether or not they have the character of articles. 4. For the purposes of heading 7019, the expression ‘glass wool’ means: (a) mineral wools with a silica (SiO2) content not less than 60 % by weight; (b) mineral wools with a silica (SiO2) content less than 60 % but with an alkaline oxide (K2O or Na2O) content exceeding 5 % by weight or a boric oxide (B2O3) content exceeding 2 % by weight.

Ear seeds are made of small glass seeds or beads, that are supplied with adhesive tape for application. They are used for auriculotherapy, a practice rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, to alleviate various conditions, including anxiety, stress, insomnia etc. They are usually held in place with adhesive tape and can be left on the ear for several days to provide continuous stimulation. Ear seeds work by stimulating specific acupressure points on the ear, which are believed to correspond to different organs and systems in the body. This stimulation is thought to regulate energy flow and promote relaxation, thus helping to reduce anxiety. They are presented in small box, each containing multiple seeds or beads which includes instructions for application and usage.
