What types of products are classified under HS code 701342?

HS code 701342 covers glassware used for kitchen purposes, such as baking dishes, mixing bowls, and measuring cups that are not designed for drinking.

How do I know if my glassware fits under HS 701342?

Check that the glassware is intended for kitchen use and has a linear coefficient of expansion not exceeding 5 x 10^-6 per Kelvin within 0-300 degrees C.

Can I include drinking glasses in HS 701342?

No, drinking glasses fall under a different classification, specifically HS code 701333. Ensure you categorize them correctly.

Are there any specific temperature limits for glassware under HS 701342?

Yes, the glass must withstand temperatures up to 300 degrees Celsius without breaking, which is a key characteristic for classification.

What is the difference between HS 701342 and HS 701333?

HS 701342 is for kitchen glassware not intended for drinking, while HS 701333 covers drinking glasses. The intended use is the main differentiator.

Can I use HS code 701342 for glass storage containers?

Yes, as long as they are designed for kitchen use and meet the thermal expansion criteria, they can be classified under HS 701342.

What should I do if I'm unsure about my glassware classification?

Consult with a customs broker or refer to customs rulings for guidance on specific products to ensure accurate classification.

Is there a specific packaging requirement for items classified under HS 701342?

While there are no strict packaging requirements, ensure that the glassware is well-protected to prevent breakage during shipping.

HS-6 701342: Glassware of a kind used for table or kitchen purposes (not drinking glasses), of glass having a linear coefficient of expansion not exceeding 5 x 10 (to the minus 6), (or 0.000005) per Kelvin within a temperature range of 0-300 degrees C

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 701342 when importing or exporting glassware designed for kitchen use, such as baking dishes or casserole dishes. These items are made from glass that can withstand high temperatures without breaking down.

This code specifically covers glassware that is not intended for drinking but serves practical kitchen purposes. For instance, it differs from HS-6 701333, which includes drinking glasses, highlighting the importance of distinguishing between types of glassware.

The glass used in this category has a low linear coefficient of expansion, meaning it can handle thermal stress well. This makes it suitable for items like oven-safe glass containers that can go from the fridge to the oven.

When considering glass items for classification, remember that this HS-6 excludes decorative glassware, which would fall under different headings. Always check the specific use and characteristics of the glassware to ensure proper classification.
