What HS code 7008 covers
The official wording is multiple-walled insulating units of glass. In plain words, this means insulating glass units. Window makers and builders also say double-glazed units or IGUs.
The key idea is the finished unit. Several walls of glass are built into one product, and it is traded as one piece. A loose sheet of glass is a different product and goes to a different heading.
Code 700800 and national tariff digits
Read the number in three steps.
Every country that uses the Harmonized System shares those first digits. Some tariffs show the same start as HSN code 7008. Many countries then add more digits to build their own tariff lines, and those extra digits differ from market to market.
So never copy a long code from another country. Check the tariff of the destination country before you ship. Our HS code classifier can help you find the right heading first.
7008 vs related glass headings
Glass products often look alike on an invoice. The words describing the goods usually decide the code. Use this short guide.
- 7007: glass made safer by treatment or layering. It is about how the glass is made, not how panes are joined. This is the usual mix-up in the difference between HS 7007 and 7008.
- 7005: float glass and ground or polished glass in flat sheets, before it becomes a unit.
- 7006: sheet glass that has been bent, edge-worked, engraved, drilled or enamelled, without a frame or other fittings.
- 7009: glass mirrors, with or without a frame.
- 7016: pressed or moulded glass blocks and tiles, plus multicellular or foam glass.
How to confirm the correct HS code for insulating glass
Follow these steps for tariff classification of an insulating glass unit.
- Check that your product is a finished unit with more than one pane, not a single sheet.
- Read the wording of 7005, 7006, 7007 and 7009 to rule them out.
- Look up the destination tariff for the extra digits after 700800.
- Ask your customs broker if the unit has a special coating or frame.
