HS Code for Champagne flutes

Champagne flutes are classified under HS code 7013.28, which covers stemware drinking glasses of glass, other than lead crystal or glass-ceramics. The classification depends on two primary factors: the physical form (stemware) and the material composition (standard glass). Stemware is defined as glassware where the bowl is supported by a stem and a base. This specific subheading (7013.28) is used for glasses that do not meet the minimum lead monoxide content (typically 24% by weight) required to be classified as lead crystal under 7013.22. The classification process involves identifying the intended use (tableware) and then narrowing down by material and shape. Most mass-produced champagne flutes made from soda-lime glass or tempered glass fall into this category. The height, bowl shape, or capacity of the flute does not affect this classification, provided it remains a stemmed drinking vessel made of non-crystal glass.

Common Misclassification

Champagne flutes are frequently misclassified under 7013.22 if the importer assumes all high-quality glassware is "crystal." However, 7013.22 is strictly for lead crystal with a lead monoxide content of 24% or more. Another common error is using 7013.37, which is for other drinking glasses; this code is only for non-stemware (like tumblers). If the flute is made of plastic, it must be classified under 3924.10.
