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 heading 7013. This industry plays a significant role in the global luxury goods market, producing high-quality, decorative glass items for both personal and commercial use. Lead crystal's unique properties, such as its brilliance, clarity, and weight, make it a popular choice for fine tableware, decorative vases, and other premium glass products.

Production process

The production of lead crystal glassware typically 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, and the molten glass is either blown, pressed, or cut into the desired shape. After shaping, the glassware undergoes annealing, a controlled cooling process that helps to strengthen the material and reduce internal stresses. Finally, the glassware may be polished, engraved, or decorated to achieve the desired aesthetic.

Production inputs

The main 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 glassmaking equipment, such as furnaces, molds, and annealing ovens, are also essential. Skilled glassblowers, cutters, and decorators are needed to transform the raw materials into the final, high-quality products.

Production outputs

The lead crystal glassware produced under HS code 701391 is primarily used for decorative and tableware purposes. These products are often consumed by the 940510 Lighting fittings and 821110 Cutlery industries, as well as the broader 940600 Prefabricated buildings and 940500 Furniture sectors. The unique properties of lead crystal make it a popular choice for high-end, luxury home goods and gift items.
