Stemware drinking glasses, other than of lead crystal or glass-ceramics.
Classification of glass stemware under HS 7013.28
Glass stemware is classified under HS code 7013.28. This subheading covers drinking glasses that feature a stem, which is the slender part connecting the bowl to the base. This specific code is a residual category for stemware that is not made of lead crystal (which falls under 7013.22) and is not made of glass-ceramics (which falls under 7013.10). The classification is based on the material composition and the physical design of the glassware. Stemware is used primarily for serving wine, champagne, and cocktails. The glass may be decorated, etched, or colored, provided it does not meet the technical definition of lead crystal, which requires a specific minimum lead monoxide content (typically 24% by weight). The manufacturing process can be machine-blown or hand-blown. This classification is part of heading 7013, which encompasses glassware of a kind used for table, kitchen, toilet, office, indoor decoration, or similar purposes. The presence of the stem is the defining physical characteristic that separates these items from tumblers or other non-stemmed drinking vessels.

Codes often confused with 7013.28
Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification involves lead crystal stemware, which must be classified under 7013.22. Importers must verify the lead content to distinguish between 7013.22 and 7013.28. Another common error is classifying stemmed glasses made of glass-ceramics under this code; those belong in 7013.10. Additionally, drinking glasses without stems (tumblers) are classified under 7013.37. If the glassware is intended for laboratory use rather than table use, it would fall under heading 7017. Finally, if the stemware is made of plastic, it is classified in Chapter 39, not Chapter 70.

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).
