HS code for Crystal wine glasses: 7013.22
Stemware drinking glasses, of lead crystal.
Classification of crystal wine glasses under HS 7013.22
The classification of crystal wine glasses under HS code 7013.22 is determined by both the physical form of the glassware and its chemical composition. Chapter 70 of the Harmonized System covers glass and glassware, with heading 7013 specifically addressing glassware used for table, kitchen, toilet, office, indoor decoration, or similar purposes. Within this heading, the 7013.22 subheading is reserved for stemware drinking glasses made of lead crystal. According to the legal notes of Chapter 70, for glass to be classified as 'lead crystal,' it must contain a minimum lead monoxide (PbO) content of 24% by weight. The classification process involves verifying that the glass possesses a 'stem' (a footed base with a supporting column), which distinguishes it from tumblers or other flat-bottomed drinking vessels. If the glass contains less than 24% lead monoxide, it cannot be classified under this specific code, even if it is marketed as 'crystal' or 'crystalline' glass. This distinction is critical for customs valuation and regulatory compliance, as lead crystal often carries different duty rates and may be subject to specific safety regulations regarding lead content in food-contact materials.

Codes often confused with 7013.22
Common mistake. A frequent error is classifying all high-quality wine glasses under 7013.22. However, if the glasses are made of soda-lime glass or crystalline glass with less than 24% lead content, they must be classified under 7013.28 (other stemware). Additionally, lead crystal glasses that do not have a stem, such as whiskey tumblers, are classified under 7013.33. Misidentifying the lead content can lead to significant discrepancies in duty payments and customs audits.

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).
