Product classification
HS code for Glass-ceramic tableware: 7013.10
Glassware, of a kind used for table, kitchen, toilet, office, indoor decoration or similar purposes (other than of heading no. 7010 or 7018), of glass-ceramics.
Classification of glass-ceramic tableware under HS 7013.10
Glass-ceramic tableware is classified under HS code 7013.10. Glass-ceramics are unique materials produced by the controlled crystallization of glass. They possess properties of both glass and ceramics, such as high thermal shock resistance and mechanical strength. Heading 7013 covers glassware for table or kitchen use, and subheading 7013.10 specifically isolates items made from glass-ceramics. This classification is distinct from standard glass tableware (like borosilicate or soda-lime glass) because of the specific manufacturing process and material properties. Even if the item looks like porcelain or standard glass, the material composition dictates the 7013.10 classification. These products are often marketed as 'oven-to-table' ware due to their ability to withstand extreme temperature changes. To be classified here, the item must be intended for table, kitchen, toilet, office, or indoor decoration. The technical definition of glass-ceramics involves a material that is at least partially crystalline, which distinguishes it from the purely amorphous structure of standard glass.

Codes often confused with 7013.10
Common mistake. Glass-ceramic tableware is often misclassified under 6911.10 (porcelain tableware) or 6912.00 (ceramic tableware) because of its opaque, ceramic-like appearance. However, because it starts as a glass melt, it must remain in Chapter 70. It is also sometimes confused with 7013.41 (borosilicate glass kitchenware), but the crystalline structure of glass-ceramics requires the use of 7013.10.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
