Classification of serving dishes under HS 7013.49
Serving dishes made of glass are classified under HS code 7013.49. This classification is governed by the General Rules for the Interpretation (GRI) of the Harmonized System, specifically focusing on the material composition and the intended use of the article. Heading 7013 covers glassware of a kind used for table, kitchen, toilet, office, indoor decoration, or similar purposes. Within this heading, subcategory 7013.4 is dedicated to glassware for table or kitchen purposes, excluding drinking glasses and glass-ceramics. The specific code 7013.49 is a residual category for glass items that do not meet the criteria for lead crystal (7013.41) or glass with a low linear coefficient of expansion (7013.42). These dishes are designed for the presentation and service of food rather than for the preparation or cooking of food, which distinguishes them from laboratory or industrial glassware. The classification remains consistent regardless of whether the glass is clear, colored, or decorated, provided it does not contain the specific lead oxide content required for crystal classification.

Codes often confused with 7013.49
Common mistake. Serving dishes are frequently misclassified under 7013.10, which is reserved strictly for glass-ceramics. Glass-ceramics have different thermal properties and are classified separately. Another common error is using 6911.10, which applies to tableware made of porcelain or china. If the dish is made of lead crystal, it must be classified under 7013.41. Furthermore, if the dish is primarily for decorative use rather than food service, it might be confused with 7013.99.

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).
