HS Code 7004Glass; drawn glass and blown glass, in sheets, whether or not having an absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer, but not otherwise worked
2 six-digit codes · Heading 4 of 19 in Chapter 70 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 7004 is the customs heading for flat glass sheets made by drawing or blowing and left unworked. Use this page to pick the right six-digit code and the right neighbouring heading.
Heading 7004 splits exactly two ways. Goods answering to “Glass; drawn glass and blown glass, in sheets, whether or not having an absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer, but not otherwise worked” classify either at 700420 or at 700490, and the wording in the table below is the whole of what separates them. The heading is number 4 of 19 in Chapter 70, Glass and glassware, which runs to 71 six-digit codes in all.

HS code 7004 explained in plain words
This heading is for flat glass sheets. Some countries write the heading as HSN 7004. After the sheet is made, nothing more is done to it.
A sheet may be plain. It may also carry a thin absorbent layer, a reflecting layer or a non-reflecting layer. Such a layer does not push the glass into another heading.
Watch the words "not otherwise worked". Bending, edge work, engraving, drilling or enamelling takes a sheet out of 7004 and into 7006. Think of this heading as the home of raw sheets, straight from the maker.
Buyers of window makers, mirror makers and picture framers often work with sheets like these. The right code on the paperwork helps the shipment clear customs without delay.
700420 or 700490: how to choose
Look at the finish of the sheet. Body tinted glass has its colour all the way through. Opacified glass is clouded, so light does not pass clearly. Flashed glass has a thin skin of colour on one face. A sheet with a light-absorbing or reflecting layer also counts.
If your glass has any of these traits, use 700420. If it has none of them, use 700490. The second code is the catch-all for the rest of the drawn and blown sheets.
The maker's product sheet usually names the finish, so read it before you pick a code.
- Green body tinted sheet: 700420
- Sheet with a reflecting coating: 700420
- Clear sheet with no layer: 700490
Is float glass classified under 7004 or 7005?
The way the glass was made splits the nearby headings. Drawn and blown glass stays here.
Work done later also matters. A sheet from 7003, 7004 or 7005 that is bent, drilled or engraved moves to 7006. Glass mirrors go to 7009.
