Iron or steel, table, kitchen and other household articles and parts thereof, of iron or steel n.e.c. in heading no. 7323.
Classification of iron kitchenware under HS 7323.99
Iron kitchenware is classified under HS code 7323.99. This classification is part of Chapter 73, which covers articles of iron or steel. Heading 7323 is designated for table, kitchen, or other household articles and parts thereof, made of iron or steel. The classification follows GRI 1, which prioritizes the material of construction and the intended use. Subheading 7323.99 is a residual category for articles that are not made of cast iron (7323.91), not made of stainless steel (7323.93), and not made of iron or steel that has been enameled (7323.94). Therefore, kitchenware made from carbon steel, wrought iron, or other non-cast iron alloys that are not enameled falls into this 'other' category. This includes a wide range of functional items used in food preparation, cooking, and serving within a domestic or commercial kitchen environment.

Codes often confused with 7323.99
Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification for iron kitchenware is HS code 7323.91, which is specifically for cast iron articles. Many users assume all heavy iron pans are 'cast iron,' but if the item is pressed from sheet iron or wrought, it belongs in 7323.99. Another error is using 7323.93 for stainless steel items; stainless steel must contain at least 10.5% chromium. Furthermore, if the iron kitchenware is enameled (coated with vitreous glass), it must be classified under 7323.94. Finally, hand tools used in the kitchen, like mechanical peelers or graters, might be classified in Chapter 82 rather than 7323.

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).
