7009Glass mirrors; whether or not framed, including rear-view mirrors

Chapter 70: Glass and glassware

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 7009 when importing glass mirrors, such as a shipment of rear-view mirrors for cars. This code covers both framed and unframed glass mirrors, making it essential for accurate classification.

To distinguish between the subheadings, consider the type of mirror. For instance, if you're importing unframed glass mirrors that are not for vehicles, you would use HS-6 700991. However, if the mirrors are framed and not for vehicles, then HS-6 700992 is the correct choice.

If your shipment includes rear-view mirrors specifically designed for vehicles, you should classify it under HS-6 700910. This subheading is crucial for automotive parts and has specific import regulations that may differ from those for regular glass mirrors.
