HS Code 7006Glass of heading no. 7003, 7004 or 7005, bent, edge-worked, engraved, drilled, enamelled or otherwise worked, not framed or fitted with other materials

What HS code 7006 covers

Think of 7006 as the finishing step for flat glass. A maker starts with a plain sheet. Then the sheet is curved, cut with a pattern, drilled or coated. Once that work is done, the sheet belongs here.

The plain sheet must come from cast and rolled glass (7003), drawn and blown glass (7004) or float glass (7005). Here is what each kind of work means:

• Bent glass: sheets curved to a set shape.
• Edge-worked glass: sheets with ground, polished or shaped edges.
• Engraved glass: sheets with a pattern cut or etched into the surface.
• Drilled glass: sheets with holes made through them.
• Enamelled glass: sheets with a coloured coating fired onto the surface.

HS code 700600, HSN and HTS: how the code is built

Customs classification works like a ladder. Each step narrows the goods down. For worked glass the ladder looks like this:

• Section XIII: goods made of stone, ceramic and glass.
• Chapter 70: all glass products, from raw scrap to finished ware.
• Heading 7006: sheet glass that has been worked.
• 700600: the six digits you write on the customs form.

7006 vs 7003, 7004 and 7005: before and after working

Headings 7003, 7004 and 7005 all hold plain sheets. Each one describes glass that is not otherwise worked. That phrase is the key to the gap between HS 7005 and 7006.

The same sheet with drilled holes or an engraved pattern moves up to 7006. The test is the same for 7003 and 7004 sheets.

A ground or polished surface alone does not change this. Heading 7005 already allows it. Look for real work such as bending, edge work, drilling, engraving or enamelling.

People who search for HSN code 700600 or an HTS entry for worked glass are looking at this same base code. Countries often add extra digits after the sixth one for their own tariff.

How to confirm the correct HS code for worked glass

A wrong code can cause questions at customs and delay a shipment. Run through these checks before you file.

Some glass looks like worked glass but has its own heading. Heading 7007 is safety glass, made of toughened (tempered) or laminated glass. If your product fits one of these, it usually goes there.

• Check the source: is it a sheet of 7003, 7004 or 7005 glass?
• Check the work: is it bent, edge-worked, engraved, drilled or enamelled?
• Check for frames or fittings: if you find any, 7006 is the wrong place.
• Still unsure? Describe the product in the HS code classifier.
