About glassware of a kind used for table or kitchen purposes (not drinking glasses), of lead crystal

HS code 701341 covers a range of glassware products made from lead crystal, designed for use in table or kitchen settings, excluding drinking glasses. This industry plays a significant role in the global tableware and kitchenware market, catering to the demand for high-quality, decorative, and functional glass products across households, restaurants, and hospitality establishments. The production and trade of these lead crystal glassware items contribute to various economic sectors, including manufacturing, retail, and international trade.

Production process

The production of lead crystal glassware under HS code 701341 typically involves a multi-step process. It begins with the melting of raw materials, such as silica sand, lead oxide, and other mineral additives, in a high-temperature furnace. The molten glass is then shaped using techniques like blowing, pressing, or casting, depending on the desired form and design. After shaping, the glassware undergoes annealing, a controlled cooling process that enhances its strength and durability. Finally, the products may undergo additional finishing steps, such as polishing, engraving, or decorating, to achieve the desired aesthetic and functional qualities.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of lead crystal glassware under HS code 701341 include high-quality silica sand, lead oxide, and other mineral additives, such as potassium oxide and aluminum oxide. Specialized glassmaking equipment, such as furnaces, molds, and annealing ovens, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor, including glass blowers, molders, and finishers, plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality and consistency of the final products.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the industry covered by HS code 701341 are a wide range of lead crystal glassware items, including plates, bowls, vases, decanters, and other tableware and kitchenware products. These high-quality glass items are often used in formal dining settings, as well as in upscale hospitality and home environments.
