HS-6 · Subheading
701400
Glassware; signalling, (not optically worked)
Heading 7014 — Signalling 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-6 701400 when importing or exporting signalling glassware, such as glass insulators or prisms that are not optically worked. For example, a shipment of glass insulators used in electrical transmission lines falls under this code.
This HS-6 line specifically covers glassware that serves a signalling purpose but does not undergo optical working. In contrast, HS-6 701500 includes optical elements that are optically worked, such as lenses or prisms that have been polished or coated.
When dealing with signalling glassware, it's important to differentiate between products that are simply made of glass and those that have been treated for optical clarity. For instance, while glass insulators are classified here, optical lenses would not be.
If you're unsure whether your product fits this classification, consider its end use. Items like glass reflectors or colored glass used in traffic signals are also included in this category.

Questions & answers
For orientation only—the binding text is your national tariff and the WCO nomenclature your country uses.
- What types of products are classified under HS 701400?
- HS-6 701400 includes signalling glassware like glass insulators, prisms, and reflectors that are not optically worked.
- How can I tell if my glass product is optically worked?
- If your glass product has been polished, coated, or treated for optical clarity, it is likely optically worked and should be classified under HS-6 701500.
- Can I import colored glass used in traffic signals under this code?
- Yes, colored glass used in traffic signals is classified under HS-6 701400 as it serves a signalling purpose and is not optically worked.
- What is the difference between HS 701400 and HS 701500?
- HS-6 701400 covers non-optically worked signalling glassware, while HS-6 701500 includes optically worked optical elements like lenses and prisms.
- Are glass reflectors for road signs included in HS 701400?
- Yes, glass reflectors used for road signs are classified under HS-6 701400 as they serve a signalling function.
- What documentation do I need for importing glass insulators?
- For importing glass insulators under HS-6 701400, you typically need a commercial invoice, packing list, and any relevant safety certifications.
- Is there a specific tariff rate for HS 701400?
- Tariff rates for HS-6 701400 can vary by country, so it's important to check the specific customs regulations of the importing country.
- How do I classify a glass product that serves multiple purposes?
- If a glass product serves both signalling and optical purposes, classify it based on its primary function. If primarily for signalling, use HS-6 701400.
