HS Code for Lead crystal tumblers

Lead crystal tumblers are classified under HS code 7013.33. This code falls under Chapter 70 for glass and heading 7013 for glassware used for table or kitchen purposes. Subheading 7013.33 is specifically designated for drinking glasses, other than stemware, made of lead crystal. A tumbler is defined as a drinking glass that lacks a stem, typically having a flat bottom or a heavy base. For the item to be classified here, it must meet the 24% lead monoxide weight requirement. The classification is driven by the function (drinking), the form (non-stemmed), and the material (lead crystal). These items are often used for serving spirits, water, or juice and are distinguished from stemware by their structural design.

Common Misclassification

The most frequent misclassification for lead crystal tumblers is HS code 7013.37, which covers other drinking glasses that are not made of lead crystal. If the lead content is below 24%, 7013.37 is the correct code. Another common error is using 7013.22, which is strictly for stemware. Even if a tumbler has a small foot, if it lacks a distinct neck or stem, it remains under 7013.33. Additionally, importers may mistakenly use 7013.91 for lead crystal items, but that code is reserved for decorative glassware, not functional drinking vessels.
