Heading 7007 — Safety glass, consisting of toughened (tempered) or laminated glass
Chapter 70: Glass and glassware
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 700721 when importing or exporting laminated safety glass designed for use in vehicles, aircraft, or vessels. For example, if you're shipping laminated glass windows for a boat, this is the correct code to use.
This code specifically covers laminated safety glass that is shaped and sized for incorporation into various modes of transport. Unlike HS-6 700722, which deals with toughened glass, this line focuses on laminated types that provide enhanced safety features.
Laminated safety glass consists of two or more layers of glass with an interlayer, typically made of polyvinyl butyral (PVB), which holds the layers together. This construction helps prevent shattering and enhances structural integrity, making it ideal for automotive and marine applications.
When classifying your product, ensure it meets the size and shape requirements for vehicles, aircraft, or vessels. If your glass is not laminated or intended for other uses, you may need to consider different HS codes.
