7014Signalling glassware and optical elements of glass (other than those of heading no. 7015), not optically worked

Chapter 70: Glass and glassware

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 7014 when importing signalling glassware like traffic lights or warning signals made of glass that hasn't been optically worked. This code applies to products designed for visibility and safety, ensuring effective communication in various environments.

When deciding between HS-6 701400 and other related codes, consider whether your product is purely signalling glassware. If your item includes optical elements or is optically worked, it may fall under a different classification, specifically HS-4 7015.

If you're importing glass items that serve a signalling purpose but are not optically worked, ensure they fit the description under HS-6 701400. This includes items like glass reflectors or indicators used in automotive or construction applications.
