HS-4 · Heading
7008 — Glass; multiple-walled insulating units of glass
Chapter 70: Glass and glassware
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 7008 when importing multiple-walled insulating glass units, such as double or triple-glazed windows used in energy-efficient buildings. These units are designed to reduce heat transfer and improve insulation.
When deciding between HS-6 700800 and other glass categories, consider the specific construction of the glass units. If the product consists of two or more layers of glass with an air or gas-filled space, it falls under this heading. Single-layer glass does not qualify.
If your shipment includes insulating glass units that are part of a larger assembly, such as a pre-fabricated window frame, ensure that the primary function remains insulation. If the glass is merely decorative or not designed for thermal efficiency, it may belong to a different heading.
