HS code for Lead crystal stemware: 7013.22
Stemware drinking glasses, of lead crystal.
Classification of lead crystal stemware under HS 7013.22
Lead crystal stemware is classified under HS code 7013.22 because it falls within Chapter 70, which covers glass and glassware. Specifically, heading 7013 applies to glassware used for table, kitchen, toilet, office, indoor decoration, or similar purposes. Within this heading, the 7013.22 subheading is reserved for stemware drinking glasses made of lead crystal. To qualify as lead crystal under the Harmonized System, the glass must have a minimum lead monoxide (PbO) content of 24% by weight. This classification is determined by the physical form of the glass—having a stem—and its chemical composition. The presence of lead increases the refractive index, giving the stemware its characteristic brilliance and weight, which distinguishes it from standard soda-lime glass stemware.

Codes often confused with 7013.22
Common mistake. Lead crystal stemware is frequently misclassified under HS code 7013.28, which covers other stemware drinking glasses. The distinction lies entirely in the lead content; if the glass contains less than 24% lead monoxide, it must be moved to 7013.28. Additionally, importers often confuse stemware with tumblers. If the drinking glass lacks a distinct stem, it should be classified under 7013.33 (for lead crystal) or 7013.37 (for other glass), regardless of the lead content. Another error involves decorative glassware under 7013.91, which is reserved for ornamental items rather than functional drinking vessels.

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).
