Product classification
HS code for Cast iron pan: 7323.91
Cast iron, table, kitchen and other household articles and parts thereof, of cast iron, not enamelled.
Classification of cast iron pan under HS 7323.91
Cast iron pans are classified under HS code 7323.91 because they are kitchen articles made of non-enamelled cast iron. This classification is strictly based on the material and the surface finish. Cast iron is an iron-carbon alloy with a carbon content greater than 2%, which is formed into shape through a casting process rather than being forged or rolled. The term "not enamelled" is a critical qualifier; it means the pan does not have a vitreous enamel (glass-like) coating. Even if the pan is "pre-seasoned" with vegetable oil or has a basic non-stick coating, it remains under 7323.91 as long as that coating is not enamel. This code is used by customs to monitor the trade of heavy-duty cookware, which is often subject to specific trade remedies or anti-dumping duties depending on the country of origin.

Codes often confused with 7323.91
Common mistake. Cast iron pans are often misclassified under HS code 7323.92, which is specifically for enamelled cast iron kitchenware. The presence of a colorful, smooth glass coating changes the classification. They are also confused with 7323.93, which covers stainless steel pans, or 7323.94, which covers other iron or steel pans that are enamelled but not made of cast iron. Accurate identification of the base metal and the coating is essential for correct duty payment.

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).
