HS Code 7020Glass; articles n.e.c. in chapter 70
1 six-digit code · Heading 19 of 19 in Chapter 70 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 7020 is where glass goods go when no other glass heading names them. Check the nearby headings first, then come back here.
Heading 7020does not subdivide further in the WCO nomenclature: goods answering to “Glass; articles n.e.c. in chapter 70” classify at the single six-digit code 702000. The heading is number 19 of 19 in Chapter 70, Glass and glassware, which runs to 71 six-digit codes in all.

What HS code 7020 covers
The short form n.e.c. means “not elsewhere classified”. It marks a residual heading. In plain words, 7020 holds other articles of glass: goods that no earlier heading in the chapter names.
Think of it as the last stop. The WCO Harmonized System asks you to read headings 7001 to 7019 first. Those cover raw glass, flat sheets, safety glass, mirrors, bottles, lamp parts, glassware, beads and fibres. You reach 7020 only when none of them fits your product.
So the heading has no theme of its own. Its content is whatever the other glass headings leave out.
HS 702000 glass articles and national code lines
Customs forms use six digits or more. Under this heading there is one six-digit subheading: 702000. Quote it once your goods have passed the checks in the next section.
Many countries add extra digits for local use. You may see these called HSN code 7020 or HTS code 7020 lines. They start with the same six digits. We do not list national lines here. To find the exact local code for your goods, try the HS code classifier.
Is 7020 the right code? Headings to check first
Because 7020 is a residual heading, a wrong turn is easy. Read the text of each nearby heading before you settle.
If your item is part of a lamp, start with 7011. If it is made for a laboratory, start with 7017. If it is a bottle, jar or ampoule, look at 7010. Beads, imitation pearls and small ornaments point to 7018. Yarn, wool and fabric made of glass fibre point to 7019.
Only when every check fails does 7020 apply. If you are still unsure, the HS code classifier can help you narrow it down.

HS Code 7020: common questions
What is covered under HS code 7020?
It covers glass articles that no other heading in Chapter 70 names. It works as the catch-all after headings 7001 to 7019.
What does n.e.c. mean in HS 7020?
It means “not elsewhere classified”. The heading takes glass articles that no earlier glass heading covers.
What is the six-digit code for HS 7020?
It is 702000, the only six-digit subheading under this heading.
What is the difference between HS 7020 and 7013 glassware?
Heading 7013 names glassware for the table, kitchen and home. Check it first, and use 7020 only if the item fits no earlier heading.
Is laboratory glassware 7017 or 7020?
Heading 7017 is the one for laboratory glassware, so it is the first heading to try. A lab item that fits there does not belong in 7020.
