HS code 7003 explained: what it covers
Heading 7003 sits in Chapter 70, Glass and glassware, which belongs to Section XIII. Its goods are made by casting or rolling molten glass. They come as flat sheets or as long shaped profiles. The glass may carry an absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer.
The key phrase is "not otherwise worked". Once glass is bent, drilled, engraved or finished in another way, it usually leaves this heading. The same number is sometimes written as HSN code 7003 or HTS 7003. The heading is the same under each name.
Buyers and sellers use this heading for raw sheet and profile glass. It is the starting material that other firms later cut, shape, coat or fit into products such as windows, partitions and panels.
How to choose the right 7003 subcode
Ask a few simple questions in order. Each answer narrows the choice until one code is left.
- Is it a sheet or a profile? A profile that is not otherwise worked goes to 700330. Sheets move on to the next question.
- Does the sheet have wire inside? If so, use 700320. A coating that absorbs or reflects does not change this, provided the glass is not worked further.
- Is the sheet non-wired? Look at the body and the surface.
- A plain non-wired sheet with none of those features goes to 700319. It is the catch-all for ordinary sheets in this heading.
What is not classified under HS 7003
Many glass sheets look alike, so mix-ups are common. How the glass was made and how much work was done on it decide the heading.
Float glass, and sheet glass with a ground or polished surface, goes to heading 7005.
Any extra work moves the glass out of 7003. Bending, drilling, engraving, enamelling or working the edges sends it to heading 7006, unless it is framed or fitted with other materials. Toughened or laminated glass is safety glass and goes to heading 7007. Multiple-walled insulating units go to heading 7008.
If you are unsure, the HS code classifier can help you check a product against the official wording before you file or search.

HS Code 7003: common questions
What is HS code 7003?
It is the customs number for unworked cast and rolled glass in flat sheets or profiles.
What is the HS code for wired glass sheets?
Use 700320. It is the only subcode for sheets with wire in them.
What is HS code 700319?
It is the plain non-wired sheet code. Use it when the sheet has no tint, opaque finish, flash or special surface layer.
What is the difference between HS 7003 and 7005 float glass?
