HS Code 7014Signalling glassware and optical elements of glass (other than those of heading no. 7015), not optically worked
1 six-digit code · Heading 13 of 19 in Chapter 70 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
This page explains what fits here, what does not, and how to tell 7014 from its close neighbour, 7015.
Heading 7014does not subdivide further in the WCO nomenclature: goods answering to “Signalling glassware and optical elements of glass (other than those of heading no. 7015), not optically worked” classify at the single six-digit code 701400. The heading is number 13 of 19 in Chapter 70, Glass and glassware, which runs to 71 six-digit codes in all.

What HS code 7014 covers
Heading 7014 holds two kinds of glass goods. The first is signalling glassware. The second is optical elements made of glass. Both must be "not optically worked" to belong here. US sources often spell the first term "signaling glassware", but the goods are the same.
The only code below this heading is 701400, described as glassware; signalling, (not optically worked). Some traders search for it as the HSN code 7014.
The heading also says it leaves out items of heading 7015. That exclusion is the most important rule on this page, and the next sections explain it.
HS 7014 classification path: Section XIII to 701400
The WCO Harmonized System sorts goods in levels. Each level is narrower than the one above it. This is the path for signalling glassware:
- Section XIII: stone, ceramic and glass articles
- Chapter 70: glass and glassware
- Heading 7014: signalling glassware and optical elements of glass, not optically worked
- Code 701400: glassware; signalling, (not optically worked)
HS 7014 vs 7015 and other glass headings
Many buyers ask about the difference between HS 7014 and 7015. Heading 7015 covers clock and watch glasses and glasses for spectacles, whether corrective or not. It also covers curved or bent glasses of that kind and hollow glass spheres and their segments. Heading 7014 explicitly excludes these items. If your glass is a spectacle glass or a watch glass, look at 7015 first.
Other glass headings can look close at first. Check these before you settle on 7014:
- 7011: glass envelopes, bulbs and tubes for electric lamps and light sources, without fittings
- 7013: glassware for table, kitchen, toilet, office and indoor decoration
- 7017: laboratory, hygienic or pharmaceutical glassware
- 7020: other glass articles not named elsewhere in Chapter 70
How to confirm the correct HS code for optical glass elements
Start with the words "not optically worked". Optical glass elements that have already been shaped or finished for their optical job do not match this heading description. Your product may belong elsewhere in that case.
Next, read the descriptions of 7014 and 7015 side by side. Then compare your product with the other glass headings in the list above. Customs classification also depends on the exact goods, so keep the product sheet and the legal text of the heading close at hand.
The HS code classifier can help you check your choice before you file or buy.
