HS code 7001 is the customs heading for glass cullet, which is broken or waste glass that can be melted again.
Heading 7001does not subdivide further in the WCO nomenclature: goods answering to “Glass; cullet and other waste and scrap of glass, excluding glass from cathode ray tubes or other activated glass of heading 85.49, glass in the mass” classify at the single six-digit code 700100. The heading is number 1 of 19 in Chapter 70, Glass and glassware, which runs to 71 six-digit codes in all.

What HS code 7001 covers
Heading 7001 is for glass that is broken or thrown away and is meant to be melted again. This is called cullet. The heading also covers other waste and scrap of glass. Many traders know this trade as broken glass recycling, because cullet can go straight back into a glass furnace.
The heading also takes in glass in the mass. This means glass as a raw lump, after melting but before it is shaped into sheets, tubes or finished goods. It has no form yet, and that is why it sits next to scrap in the same heading.
HS code 700100 and the national digits beneath it
The only six-digit code here is 700100. Six digits is the international level of the Harmonized System, which the World Customs Organization maintains. Every country uses these first six digits in the same way.
Countries can add their own digits after the sixth one. These extra digits make up the national customs tariff heading. So a local tariff line for glass cullet will be longer than 700100, but it will start with the same six digits.
Duty rates and local rules differ by country, so check them with your own customs office. If you are unsure which code fits your goods, the HS code classifier can help you narrow it down.
What is excluded from heading 7001
Glass from cathode ray tubes does not belong here. These are the tubes used in old television and monitor screens. Other activated glass is also out.
This matters when you ship used electronic parts. Plain glass cullet goes under 7001. Glass taken from a cathode ray tube does not. Read the full description first, then confirm the code before you file.
