About HS Code 701310
This HS code specifically targets glassware made from glass-ceramics, intended for table, kitchen, toilet, office, indoor decoration, or similar purposes. Glass-ceramics are unique materials renowned for their exceptional thermal shock resistance, durability, and non-porous surfaces, making them ideal for cookware that transitions from freezer to oven, or for robust dinnerware. Major importers include large retailers, hospitality suppliers, and distributors catering to both household and commercial markets. Exporters are typically specialized manufacturers with the advanced technology required to produce these materials. Key aspects influencing trade include thermal performance, scratch resistance, aesthetic design, and compliance with food safety standards. This category excludes basic glass containers (7010) and glass beads/imitation pearls (7018), focusing solely on the functional and decorative applications of glass-ceramic items.
