What HS code 70 glass and glassware covers

Chapter 70 of the Harmonized System covers glass in almost every form. It runs from scrap glass ready for recycling to finished goods such as bottles, mirrors and drinking glasses. It also takes in glass fibres and glass wool. You may see it called the chapter 70 HS code or the HSN code chapter 70. Both names point to the same group of goods.

The chapter follows a simple order. It starts with raw glass, moves to sheet glass and worked glass, and then to finished articles. Heading 7020 sits at the end and holds glass articles that are not named anywhere else in the chapter.

Each heading has a four-digit number. Each six-digit subheading adds detail, such as the shape of the item, the type of glass or what it is used for.

Chapter 70 product groups

The headings fall into a few clear groups. Find your product in the list below, then open the heading page for the full set of codes.

  • 7001 to 7002: cullet and scrap glass, plus unworked balls, rods and tubes.
  • 7003 to 7006: cast, rolled, drawn, blown and float glass in sheets, and the same glass once it is bent, drilled, engraved or edge-worked.
  • 7007 to 7009: safety glass, multiple-walled insulating units and glass mirrors.
  • 7010 and 7011: bottles, jars, ampoules, closures and glass envelopes for lamps.
  • 7013 to 7018: table and kitchen glassware, signalling glass, spectacle and watch glasses, mosaic and paving pieces, laboratory glassware and glass beads.
  • 7019: glass fibres and glass wool, with yarn, rovings and fabrics.

How to choose the right Chapter 70 code

Start with how the glass was made and how far it has been worked. Float glass belongs in 7005. Cast and rolled sheets go in 7003, and drawn or blown sheets go in 7004. If a sheet from one of these headings has been bent, drilled, engraved or enamelled, look at 7006 instead.

Safety glass sits in 7007, and the six-digit code then splits by type and use. Toughened glass is 700711 or 700719. Laminated glass is 700721 or 700729. The first code in each pair is for glass sized and shaped to fit vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft or vessels.

Packing containers and tableware are easy to mix up. Bottles, jars and closures used to pack goods go in 7010. Examples are 701090 for bottles and jars, 701010 for ampoules and 701020 for stoppers and lids. Examples are 701322 for lead crystal stemware and 701399 for other glassware not named elsewhere in that heading. Lead crystal has its own codes in 7013.

Two more pairs cause doubt. Tiny glass microspheres belong in 7018, while unworked glass balls belong in 7002. Laboratory, hygienic and pharmaceutical glassware has its own heading, 7017. If you are still unsure, try the HS code classifier, then compare the six-digit codes on the heading page.

Other chapters in Section XIII
