2004, the amount due from glass container importers shall be the sum equal to
the number of non-deposit beverage glass containers provided in subsection (a),

within a one-year period shall be exempt from payment of the fee. Any empty, imported glass container designed
to hold not more than two and one-half fluid ounces of a product meant for
human consumption shall be exempt from the fee.
[Beginning October 1, 2004, a glass container importer who imports or
manufactures in the State fewer [than] five thousand non-deposit beverage glass
containers within a one-year period shall be exempt from payment of the fee.]
(d) [Until September 30, 2004, a] A
glass container importer who imports five thousand or more glass containers,
but less than or equal to one hundred thousand glass containers, shall be
permitted to provide a report and payment of the fee annually, rather than

a glass container importer who imports or manufactures in the State five
