Classification of crystal drinking glasses under HS 7013.33
Crystal drinking glasses that do not feature a stem are classified under HS code 7013.33. This code specifically covers lead crystal glassware used for drinking, excluding stemware. The Harmonized System makes a clear distinction between different types of drinking vessels to ensure precise trade statistics. Stemware, such as wine or champagne glasses, is classified under 7013.22, while non-stemmed glasses like tumblers, highballs, and old-fashioned glasses fall under 7013.33, provided they are made of lead crystal. The lead crystal designation is a technical requirement; the glass must contain at least 24% lead monoxide to qualify. This classification is important because lead crystal is subject to different valuation and regulatory standards than ordinary glass. The 7013.33 code ensures that these premium consumer goods are correctly identified in international commerce. The classification is based on GRI 1 and the specific subheadings of heading 7013, which prioritize the function (drinking) and the material (lead crystal) over other decorative attributes.

Codes often confused with 7013.33
Common mistake. The most common misclassification is HS code 7013.22, which is reserved for lead crystal stemware (glasses with a pedestal or stem). Another error is using 7013.37, which is for drinking glasses made of glass other than lead crystal or glass-ceramics. Accurate classification requires verifying the lead content and the physical structure of the glass.

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).
