HS-4 · Heading
7015 — Clock, watch and similar glasses, glasses for non-corrective or corrective spectacles, curved, bent, hallowed etc, not optically worked; hollow glass spheres and their segments for manufacture
Chapter 70: Glass and glassware
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 7015 when importing glasses specifically designed for clocks, watches, or non-corrective spectacles. For instance, if you're bringing in curved glass pieces for a vintage clock repair, this heading applies to your shipment.
When deciding between HS-6 701510 and HS-6 701590, consider the end use of the glass. If the glass is intended for corrective spectacles, use 701510. However, if it’s for non-corrective spectacles or clock and watch glasses, then 701590 is the correct choice.
The distinction between these subheadings also hinges on whether the glass has optical properties. If your product is simply a decorative piece of glass without optical correction, it falls under 701590. Conversely, if it's specifically designed to correct vision, 701510 is your go-to code.
