HS Code for Casserole dishes
Casserole dishes made of glass are classified under HS code 7013.42 because they are specifically designed for kitchen use and possess a low linear coefficient of expansion. This technical specification is crucial for products intended to withstand significant thermal stress. According to the Harmonized System, this code applies to glassware with a linear coefficient of expansion not exceeding 5 x 10^-6 per Kelvin within a temperature range of 0 to 300 degrees Celsius. This typically includes borosilicate glass, which is prized for its ability to transition from cold to hot environments without cracking. The classification is determined by the material's physical properties and its intended function as a vessel for cooking or serving food in a domestic setting. Customs authorities prioritize the thermal resistance rating to distinguish these high-performance kitchen articles from standard decorative or table glassware that might shatter under oven temperatures.

Common Misclassification
Casserole dishes are frequently misclassified under HS code 7013.49, which covers other glassware for table or kitchen purposes. The distinction lies in the thermal expansion coefficient; if the glass does not meet the specific low-expansion threshold, it falls into the residual category. Additionally, they are often confused with ceramic casserole dishes under HS code 6911.10 (porcelain) or 6912.00 (other ceramics). It is essential to verify the material composition, as glass and ceramic follow entirely different chapters in the HS nomenclature.
FAQ
What is the HS code for casserole dishes?
The HS code for heat-resistant glass casserole dishes is 7013.42. If the dish is made of ceramic, the code will change to 6911.10 or 6912.00.
Does this code include the lid?
Yes, if the lid is made of the same heat-resistant glass and is imported with the dish as a set, it is classified under 7013.42.
