Classification of crystal decanters under HS 7013.41
HS code 7013.41 is the correct classification for crystal decanters, which are defined as glassware of a kind used for table or kitchen purposes, specifically made of lead crystal. Unlike general decorative glassware, decanters are functional vessels designed for the aeration and service of beverages such as wine, port, or spirits. The classification is governed by the material composition and the intended utility of the object. Under the Harmonized System, lead crystal refers to glass with a specific minimum percentage of lead oxide (at least 24%), which distinguishes it from standard soda-lime glass. Because decanters are used in the context of food and drink service but are not themselves drinking vessels, they fall under the 7013.4x series. Specifically, 7013.41 is used for lead crystal items, ensuring that these high-value luxury goods are tracked separately from common glassware. This classification follows GRI 1, as the item is specifically described by the heading for table/kitchen glassware and the subheading for lead crystal material.

Codes often confused with 7013.41
Common mistake. Decanters are often misclassified under HS code 7013.33, which is for lead crystal drinking glasses. While they are part of the same set, decanters are for pouring, not drinking. They may also be confused with 7013.22 (stemware) or 7013.91 (decorative crystal). If the decanter is purely ornamental and not for food service, it might move to 7013.91, but most are classified under 7013.41.

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).
