Glass, stoppers, lids and other closures.
Classification of glass lids under HS 7010.20
Glass lids and closures are classified under HS code 7010.20. This classification is determined by the relationship between the closure and the container it is designed to seal. Heading 7010 covers glass containers used for the conveyance or packing of goods, and subheading 7010.20 specifically isolates stoppers, lids, and other closures made of glass. The classification logic follows the principle that accessories essential to the function of a container, when made of the same material or presented for use with such containers, should be grouped within the same heading. Even when imported separately, these glass lids are recognized by their design and material as closures for the types of bottles or jars described in heading 7010. This ensures consistency in the tariff treatment of packaging components. The classification applies regardless of whether the lid is ground-glass, threaded, or a simple push-fit stopper, provided the material is glass and the function is to close a container of heading 7010.

Codes often confused with 7010.20
Common mistake. A common misclassification occurs with HS code 7013.99, which covers glassware for table or kitchen use. If a glass lid is part of a decorative casserole dish or a household sugar bowl, it belongs in 7013. Another frequent error is using HS code 8309, which is reserved for base metal closures like crown corks or screw caps. If the lid is made of plastic, it must be classified under 3923.50, even if it is intended for a glass jar. Only closures made primarily of glass belong in 7010.20.

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).
