About stemware drinking glasses, of lead crystal

HS code 701322 covers the import and export of stemware drinking glasses made of lead crystal. This is a significant industry within the broader glassware and tableware sector, which plays a crucial role in global trade and the hospitality supply chain. Lead crystal stemware is highly valued for its clarity, durability, and aesthetic appeal, making it a popular choice for high-end dining, events, and home use.

Production process

The production of lead crystal stemware involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, including lead oxide, silica, and other minerals, are carefully measured and melted at high temperatures to create the molten crystal. The molten crystal is then shaped into the desired form, often using molds or manual blowing techniques. After shaping, the glassware undergoes annealing, a controlled cooling process that enhances its strength and resilience. Finally, the stemware may be polished, engraved, or decorated to achieve the desired aesthetic.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of lead crystal stemware include high-purity lead oxide, silica sand, and other mineral additives. Specialized glassmaking equipment, such as furnaces, molds, and annealing ovens, are also essential. Additionally, skilled glassblowers and finishers are required to shape, polish, and decorate the final products.

Production outputs

The main output of HS code 701322 is lead crystal stemware, which is used in a variety of settings, including fine dining establishments, hotels, and high-end households.
