Classification of uncoated cast iron kitchenware 7323 91

Subheading 7323 91 covers table, kitchen or other household articles of cast iron, not enamelled. These include pots, skillets, saucepans, casseroles, baking moulds, grills and other kitchen vessels made of cast iron without enamel coating. Cast iron is valued in cooking for even heat distribution, high heat retention and durability. Bare (unenamelled) cast iron cookware requires seasoning - building a natural oil-based protective layer that prevents corrosion and provides non-stick properties. Classification requires cast iron material (over 2 percent carbon content), absence of enamel coating and kitchen or table function. Enamelled cast iron falls under 7323 92 or 7323 94. Steel kitchenware under 7323 93 and 7323 99. Aluminium under Chapter 76. Classification requires material analysis confirming cast iron composition.

Import requirements and safety for cast iron kitchenware 7323 91

Importing uncoated cast iron kitchenware under 7323 91 into the EU requires a customs declaration and EORI number. Cast iron cookware is a food contact product subject to Regulation (EC) 1935/2004. Products must be safe and not release hazardous substances into food. Particular attention to heavy metal migration (lead, cadmium) and nickel from coatings is required. GPSR imposes consumer safety obligations. Products must comply with REACH. Packaging must include importer details and use instructions. These products are generally not subject to CBAM. Imports from Russia and Belarus are subject to sanctions. AD duties on cast iron kitchenware from China may apply - verify in TARIC.

Customs classification of uncoated cast iron kitchenware (CN 7323 91)

CN code 7323 91 of the Combined Nomenclature covers uncoated cast iron kitchenware within Chapter 73, which deals with articles of iron or steel.
