HS codes
Glassware exports fall under HS chapter 70. Classify precisely — the first six digits are international, the rest are India's ITC-HS extension. Your HS code drives duty, FTA eligibility and the paperwork the buyer's customs will expect.
Export requirements & certifications
- IEC and RCMC (via EPCH — Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts — for decorative glass, or the relevant EPC for industrial glassware).
- Food-contact safety compliance (lead/cadmium migration limits) for tableware sold into the EU/US/UK.
- Careful export packing — breakage in transit is the leading cause of buyer disputes in this category.
- Buyer sample and colour/finish approval before bulk production.
Requirements change and are buyer- and destination-specific — confirm the current rules with your export promotion council and the buyer before you ship.
Documentation
Every glassware shipment needs the core set: commercial invoice, packing list, shipping bill, bill of lading or airway bill, certificate of origin (preferential where an FTA applies), and the category-specific certificates above. See the full export documentation checklist and the glassware export guide.
Finding buyers
The reliable method: identify companies that already import glassware in your target market from customs data, reach the named procurement contact, and open on the trade signal — not a generic pitch. EximHub does that end to end. Read how to find glassware buyers, how to find export buyers or how customs trade data works.
