Product classification
HS code for Enamelled steel cookware: 7323.94
Iron (excluding cast) or steel, table, kitchen and other household articles and parts thereof, enamelled.
Classification of enamelled steel cookware under HS 7323.94
Enamelled steel cookware is classified under HS code 7323.94. This code is part of the broader heading 7323, which encompasses household articles made of iron or steel. The sub-heading 7323.94 specifically targets articles of iron (excluding cast iron) or steel that have undergone an enamelling process. This typically includes carbon steel or light-gauge steel pots and pans coated with a porcelain or vitreous enamel layer. The classification is determined by GRI 1, focusing on the material of construction and the surface finish. Unlike cast iron, which is heavy and brittle, the steel used in 7323.94 is usually wrought or pressed, making the cookware lighter. This code is essential for identifying kitchenware that combines the heat conductivity of steel with the chemical resistance of an enamel coating.

Codes often confused with 7323.94
Common mistake. The most common misclassification occurs with HS code 7323.92, which is reserved for enamelled cast iron. While both are enamelled, the weight and manufacturing process of the base metal differ significantly. Another common error is 7323.93, which is for stainless steel cookware. Stainless steel is generally not enamelled, as the alloy itself is corrosion-resistant. If the steel is not enamelled but merely painted or coated with a non-stick polymer (like PTFE), it may fall under 7323.99.

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).
