About glassware; n.e.c. in heading no. 7013, of lead crystal

HS code 701391 covers a range of lead crystal glassware products that are not classified elsewhere in the 7013 heading. These high-quality glass items are widely used in the hospitality, retail, and home decor industries, contributing significantly to global trade in the broader glass and ceramics sector. As a specialized product, lead crystal glassware is valued for its unique properties, such as clarity, brilliance, and durability, making it a popular choice for a variety of applications.

Production process

The production of lead crystal glassware involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, including lead oxide, silica, and other additives, are carefully measured and mixed. The mixture is then melted in a high-temperature furnace, typically reaching temperatures of around 1,400°C. The molten glass is then either blown, pressed, or cut into the desired shapes and forms. After shaping, the glassware undergoes annealing, a controlled cooling process that helps to reduce internal stresses and improve the overall strength and durability of the final product.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of lead crystal glassware include high-purity lead oxide, silica sand, and various other mineral additives such as alumina, potassium oxide, and sodium oxide. Specialized equipment, such as glass-blowing tools, molds, and annealing ovens, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor, including glass artisans and technicians, is a crucial input for the production of high-quality lead crystal glassware.

Production outputs

The main outputs of HS code 701391 are a diverse range of lead crystal glassware products, including stemware (such as wine glasses, champagne flutes, and cocktail glasses), decanters, vases, bowls, and other decorative items. These products are often used in the 4722 Retail sale of beverages and 5610 Restaurants and mobile food service activities industries, as well as in the 4759 Retail sale of furniture, lighting equipment and other household articles and 4753 Retail sale of carpets, rugs, wall and floor coverings sectors for home decor and furnishings.
