Classification of glass bowls under HS 7013.49
Glass bowls are classified under HS code 7013.49, which specifically covers glassware of a kind used for table or kitchen purposes, other than drinking glasses or glass-ceramics. This classification is determined by the primary function of the article and its material composition. Heading 7013 is reserved for glassware used for indoor decoration, table service, or kitchen utility. Within this heading, subheadings are divided based on the type of glass, such as lead crystal or glass-ceramics, and the specific use. Since standard glass bowls are typically made of soda-lime glass or borosilicate glass and are intended for food preparation or serving, they fall into the residual category 7013.49 if they do not meet the criteria for lead crystal (which requires a minimum lead monoxide content of 24% by weight) or glass-ceramics (which are produced by controlled crystallization). The classification follows General Interpretative Rule 1, which dictates that classification is determined by the terms of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes. These items are distinct from industrial glassware or laboratory glassware because they are designed for domestic or catering environments.

Codes often confused with 7013.49
Common mistake. Glass bowls are frequently misclassified under 7013.10 if the importer incorrectly identifies the material as glass-ceramics. They may also be confused with 7010.90, which covers glass containers used for the conveyance or packing of goods, such as commercial jars. If the bowl is made of lead crystal, it must be classified under 7013.41 rather than 7013.49. Additionally, decorative bowls not intended for food use might be argued under 7013.99, though 7013.49 remains the primary code for kitchenware.

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).
