HS code for Drinking glasses: 7013.37
Glassware, drinking glasses (not stemware), other than of lead crystal or glass-ceramics.
Classification of drinking glasses under HS 7013.37
Drinking glasses are classified under HS code 7013.37, which falls within the category of glassware used for table, kitchen, toilet, office, indoor decoration, or similar purposes. Heading 7013 is structured by the type of glass and the function of the item. Subheading 7013.37 specifically covers drinking glasses that are not made of glass-ceramics, are not made of lead crystal, and are not stemware. The classification process involves a strict hierarchy: first, determining if the glass is glass-ceramic (7013.10); second, if it is stemware (7013.22-28); and third, if it is a drinking glass other than stemware. Within that third category, the material is evaluated. If the glass contains a lead monoxide content of 24% or more by weight, it is classified as lead crystal (7013.33). If it does not meet this threshold, it falls into the other category, 7013.37. This includes standard soda-lime glass tumblers, highball glasses, and juice glasses used in everyday settings. The classification is independent of the glass's color, decoration, or whether it is toughened (tempered). However, it must be intended for the consumption of beverages. If the glass is a container used for the commercial conveyance or packing of goods (like a jar that happens to look like a glass), it would move to heading 7010. For most consumer retail drinking glasses that are flat-bottomed and made of standard glass, 7013.37 is the definitive code.

Codes often confused with 7013.37
Common mistake. Drinking glasses are often misclassified under 7013.28, which is for other stemware. If the glass has a foot and a stem, it cannot be 7013.37. Another common error is 7013.33, which is for lead crystal; importers must verify the lead content to distinguish between these. Finally, 7010.90 is sometimes used incorrectly for glasses that are intended as decorative containers rather than table glassware.

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).
