7020 — Glass; articles n.e.c. in chapter 70
Chapter 70: Glass and glassware
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 7020 when importing glass articles not specifically classified in other chapters, such as decorative glass items or glass components for machinery. For instance, if you're shipping a collection of glass vases that don’t fit into standard categories, this code applies.
To determine if HS-4 7020 is the right choice, consider the nature of your glass products. If they are not primarily used for construction, tableware, or other specific applications outlined in other headings, they likely fall under this classification. For example, specialty glass used in scientific instruments would be included here.
When choosing between HS-4 7020 and other headings, assess the product's primary use. If your shipment consists of glass articles that are artistic or ornamental but not categorized under specific artistic glass headings, then HS-4 7020 is appropriate. However, if the items are functional like glass containers, you may need to look at other relevant codes.
