Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 847529 when importing or exporting machines designed for manufacturing or hot working glass or glassware, such as those used in glass bottle production. This code specifically covers machinery that does not produce optical fibers or their preforms.

This subheading narrows down the broader category of machines for assembling electronic components under HS-4 8475. While HS-6 847528 includes machines for making optical fibers, HS-6 847529 focuses solely on glassworking machines.

If you’re dealing with equipment like glass-blowing machines or those that shape glass into containers, HS-6 847529 is the appropriate classification. It encompasses a variety of machines that manipulate glass in its molten state.

Be aware that machines classified under this code are distinct from those used for other materials. For example, machines for working plastics fall under different HS codes, so ensure you’re using the correct classification for your specific product.
