Of lead crystal
Lead crystal glassware for table, kitchen, or decorative use
HSN 7013 91 00 (lead crystal glassware for table, kitchen, toilet, office, or indoor decoration) 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other glassware under Chapter 70 — particularly glass containers under heading 7010 or glass beads and articles under heading 7018 — may attract distinct compliance, and classification accuracy between those headings and 7013 is the principal importer risk.
Lead crystal glassware sits in a chapter where heading-level distinctions matter: misclassification into heading 7010 (glass containers for packing) or heading 7018 (glass beads, imitation jewellery) can trigger compliance obligations that do not apply here. Additionally, lead content in crystal may attract scrutiny under import health or environmental frameworks if the end-use context changes — verify the product specification and intended use before each shipment. Re-classification on customs examination carries the risk of detention pending retrospective compliance.
