HS Code 7015Clock, watch and similar glasses, glasses for non-corrective or corrective spectacles, curved, bent, hallowed etc, not optically worked; hollow glass spheres and their segments for manufacture
2 six-digit codes · Heading 14 of 19 in Chapter 70 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 7015 covers shaped glass pieces for watches, clocks and spectacles, plus hollow glass spheres used to make them. This page explains what fits, how to pick the right six-digit code, and where the line with nearby headings falls.
Heading 7015 splits exactly two ways. Goods answering to “Clock, watch and similar glasses, glasses for non-corrective or corrective spectacles, curved, bent, hallowed etc, not optically worked; hollow glass spheres and their segments for manufacture” classify either at 701510 or at 701590, and the wording in the table below is the whole of what separates them. The heading is number 14 of 19 in Chapter 70, Glass and glassware, which runs to 71 six-digit codes in all.
Six-digit codes under heading 7015
| HS Code | Import–export description |
|---|---|
| 701510 | Glasses for corrective spectacles; curved, bent, hollowed or the like, not optically worked |
| 701590 | Glasses; clock or watch and similar, glasses for non-corrective spectacles, curved, bent, hollowed etc, (not optically worked), hollow glass spheres and segments, for the manufacture of such glasses |
What HS code 7015 covers
The glass is curved, bent or hollowed. It is not optically worked. That means it has not been ground or polished to the standard of a finished lens.
The heading also takes hollow glass spheres and their segments, when they are made into such glasses. So the heading holds both the finished shaped glass and the raw shapes used to make it.
Buyers often search for this heading under plain names: clock and watch glasses, spectacle glasses, or sunglass glass blanks. The same idea sits behind all of them. The glass is shaped, but it is not yet a worked optical part. Under the full HS list, this is part of Chapter 70 glass and glassware.
Subheadings under HSN heading 7015: 701510 and 701590
One is for corrective spectacle glass. The other takes everything else in the heading. Use the steps after the list to choose.
- 701510: glasses for corrective spectacles.
How to choose between 701510 and 701590
Start with the end use of the glass. Ask what it will become.
Step one: is it for corrective spectacles? If yes, and it is not optically worked, use 701510.
Step two: is it for a watch or a clock? Use 701590.
Step three: is it for spectacles that do not correct vision, such as plain or tinted sunglasses? Use 701590. This is also the answer when people ask for the HS code for glass for sunglasses.
Step four: is it a hollow glass sphere or a segment of one, made to become these glasses? Use 701590.
If the glass has already been optically worked, stop. It may not belong in this heading at all. Check the HS code classifier before you file.
Difference between HS 7015 and 7014, and other glass headings
Its own wording says it leaves out the goods of heading 7015. So watch, clock and spectacle glasses go to 7015, and other optical glass elements go to 7014.
A glass piece for a watch face does not belong there.
HS 7018 covers glass beads, imitation pearls, glass ornaments and very small glass microspheres. Hollow spheres made for glasses stay in 7015.
HS 7020 is the catch-all for glass articles not named elsewhere in the chapter. Use it only when no other heading in Chapter 70 fits.
