HS Code for Ovenware

Ovenware made of glass is classified under HS code 7013.42. This classification is part of Chapter 70, which covers glass and glassware. The specific subheading 7013.42 is designated for glassware used for table or kitchen purposes, excluding drinking glasses, made of glass with a low linear coefficient of expansion. Specifically, the glass must have a coefficient of expansion not exceeding 5 x 10^-6 per Kelvin within a temperature range of 0 to 300 degrees Celsius. This technical requirement identifies the material as borosilicate glass or similar heat-resistant glass (often known by brand names like Pyrex). The classification is based on the material's ability to withstand thermal shock, making it suitable for use in ovens. If the glassware is intended for the kitchen but does not meet this specific thermal expansion threshold, it falls under different subheadings within 7013.

Products Included

• Borosilicate glass baking dishes
• Glass roasting pans
• Heat-resistant glass casserole dishes
• Glass pie plates
• Glass measuring cups designed for oven use

Common Misclassification

Ovenware is often misclassified under 7013.49, which is the "other" category for kitchen glassware. This happens when the importer fails to provide technical data proving the low coefficient of expansion. Another common error is confusing glass ovenware with ceramic ovenware. Ceramic or porcelain baking dishes are classified under 6911.10 (porcelain) or 6912.00 (ceramic), depending on the material composition. It is vital to distinguish between glass-ceramic (which has its own rules) and borosilicate glass.

FAQ

What is the HS code for glass ovenware?

The HS code for heat-resistant glass ovenware with a low expansion coefficient is 7013.42.

Does this code cover all glass kitchenware?

No, it only covers glassware for table or kitchen use that meets the specific thermal expansion limit. General glass bowls or storage containers that are not heat-resistant fall under 7013.49.
