Of lead crystal

Lead crystal glassware for table, kitchen, or decorative use

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7013 33 00 (lead crystal glassware for table, kitchen, toilet, office, indoor decoration, or similar purposes) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other glassware lines within Chapter 70 — including glass containers under heading 7010 and glass beads or decorative articles under heading 7018 — are excluded from this heading and may carry distinct compliance considerations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all Chapter 70 glassware: certain glass products used in construction or safety applications are subject to BIS Quality Control Orders under other headings, and a customs officer who re-classifies an import to a more specific line triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending any applicable certification. Importers should confirm that the product's lead content, end-use category, and physical form squarely match heading 7013 before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 7013 33 00 require any pre-import registration?
A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.
What changes if the glassware is not lead crystal but is otherwise similar in use?
Non-lead-crystal glassware of the same functional kind is classified under sibling lines within heading 7013, some of which may attract BIS Quality Control Order coverage depending on the glass type and end use.
