HS-4 · Heading

7001 — Glass; cullet and other waste and scrap of glass, excluding glass from cathode ray tubes or other activated glass of heading 85.49, glass in the mass

Chapter 70: Glass and glassware

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 7001 when importing cullet and other waste and scrap glass. For example, if you're shipping recycled glass from a manufacturing facility, this code applies. It covers all forms of glass waste, except for specific activated glass types.

To determine if HS-6 700100 applies, confirm that your shipment does not include glass from cathode ray tubes or activated glass. The distinction is crucial, as these items fall under a different heading (85.49). If your product is pure cullet or scrap glass, you're on the right track.

When classifying your glass products, consider the physical state and composition. If the glass is mixed with other materials or has been processed in a way that alters its original state, it may not qualify under this heading. Ensure your documentation clearly describes the product to avoid misclassification.
