Classification of cast iron cookware under HS 7323.91
Cast iron cookware is classified under HS code 7323.91. This code specifically addresses table, kitchen, or other household articles made of cast iron that are not enamelled. The classification is based on the functional use of the item within a domestic or kitchen setting and the specific material composition. Heading 7323 covers a wide range of household articles of iron or steel, and the subheadings are divided by material type and surface treatment. Subheading 7323.91 is reserved for traditional cast iron items, such as seasoned skillets and Dutch ovens, where the iron is left in its natural state or seasoned with oil rather than being coated with vitreous enamel. The heavy, thick-walled nature of these products, resulting from the casting process, is a defining characteristic that separates them from pressed steel or aluminum cookware.

Codes often confused with 7323.91
Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification is with enamelled cast iron cookware, which falls under HS code 7323.92. If a cast iron pot has a colorful porcelain or enamel coating, it must be moved to the .92 subheading. Another common error is using 7323.93, which is strictly for stainless steel cookware. Importers also sometimes confuse household cookware with industrial food processing machinery, which would be classified under Chapter 84. Finally, cast iron parts that are not yet finished into a kitchen tool might be incorrectly placed in 7325.10.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
