HS Code for Tumblers
The classification of tumblers under HS code 7013.37 is determined by the material composition and the intended use of the article as a drinking vessel. Chapter 70 of the Harmonized System encompasses glass and glassware. Within this chapter, heading 7013 specifically covers glassware of a kind used for table, kitchen, toilet, office, indoor decoration, or similar purposes. The subheading 7013.37 is designated for drinking glasses, other than those of glass-ceramics or lead crystal, and specifically excludes stemware. To qualify for this code, the tumbler must be made of soda-lime glass, borosilicate glass, or other non-lead glass types. The classification process involves analyzing the physical characteristics of the glass. If the glass contains more than 24% lead monoxide by weight, it would be reclassified under subheadings for lead crystal. Furthermore, the distinction between drinking glasses and other glassware is crucial; tumblers are defined by their primary function as vessels for consuming liquids. Under General Rule of Interpretation (GRI) 1, the terms of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes are paramount. Since 7013.37 explicitly mentions other drinking glasses excluding stemware, standard flat-bottomed tumblers used for water, juice, or spirits fall directly into this category.

Common Misclassification
Tumblers are frequently misclassified under 7013.22 or 7013.28, which are reserved for stemware (glasses with a base and a pedestal). Another common error is using 7013.33, which is strictly for lead crystal glassware. If the tumbler is made of plastic, it must be classified under 3924.10, and if made of stainless steel, it falls under 7323.93.
