Classification of decorative glass under HS 7013.99
Decorative glassware is classified under HS code 7013.99. Heading 7013 covers glassware of a kind used for table, kitchen, toilet, office, indoor decoration, or similar purposes. Subheading 7013.99 is a residual category for items that are not made of lead crystal and are not specifically listed in other subheadings like 7013.22 or 7013.33. The classification depends on the glass's intended use as an ornamental object within a home or office. This includes items like vases, figurines, and trophies. It is important to distinguish these from laboratory glassware or glass beads. The "other" designation in 7013.99 ensures that decorative glass made from soda-lime glass or borosilicate glass, which does not meet the high lead oxide content required for lead crystal, is correctly categorized. The classification is driven by the item's finished state and its decorative function. Under GRI 1, the heading is determined by the description of the goods, and 7013 specifically addresses glassware for indoor decoration.

Codes often confused with 7013.99
Common mistake. Decorative glass is often misclassified under 7013.91 if the importer assumes all high-quality glass is lead crystal. However, 7013.91 requires a minimum lead monoxide content (usually 24%). Another common error is using 7018.10, which is for glass beads and imitation jewelry. While both are decorative, 7018 is for small components or personal adornment, whereas 7013.99 is for larger household ornaments. Additionally, glass mirrors are excluded from this heading and must be classified under 7009.

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).
