7003Glass; cast glass and rolled glass in sheets or profiles, whether or not having an absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer, but not otherwise worked

Chapter 70: Glass and glassware

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 7003 when importing cast glass and rolled glass sheets or profiles, such as large glass panels for windows or decorative glass for furniture. This heading covers products that may have special coatings but are not further processed.

When deciding between HS-6 700312 and HS-6 700319, consider the color and treatment of the glass. If the glass is body tinted or has an absorbent layer, it falls under 700312. If it lacks these features, use 700319.

For wired sheets, you should classify under HS-6 700320. This includes glass sheets with embedded wiring, which may be used for safety or decorative purposes. Ensure that the product is not otherwise worked to qualify.

If your product is a profile shape, such as a glass molding or frame, you will need to use HS-6 700330. This line is specifically for profiles that have not undergone any additional processing.
