Glass and glassware
About chapter 70
Chapter 70 covers glass and glassware: flat glass, glass containers, tableware, fibreglass and optical-grade glass, spanning both industrial glass and finished consumer glassware.
Classification tip: Flat glass classification depends on processing (float, toughened, laminated, coated), and safety-glass certification is frequently required for automotive or architectural glass on top of the HS code.

Codes and descriptions follow the WCO six-digit Harmonized System nomenclature. National tariff schedules extend these to 8–13 digits and set the actual duty rate, so confirm the full code for your destination country with your customs broker before filing. To copy a code, hover a row and use the copy button; every code has 7001-style dot notation ready for your commercial invoice.
Chapter 70 FAQ
What does HS code chapter 70 cover?
Chapter 70 of the Harmonized System covers: glass and glassware. It belongs to section XIII (Stone, Ceramics & Glass) and contains 19 four-digit headings, 7001–7020.
How many HS codes are in chapter 70?
Chapter 70 contains 19 four-digit headings and 71 six-digit subheadings. Countries subdivide these further (8–13 digits) in their national tariff schedules, so the full national count is larger.
Is HS code 7001 the same in every country?
Yes. The six-digit level of every code in this chapter is harmonised by the World Customs Organization and identical in all member countries. Digits beyond the sixth (for example the US 10-digit HTS or the EU 8-digit CN) are national and set the actual duty rate.
How do I choose the right code within chapter 70?
Work from the four-digit heading down: pick the heading that best matches your product, then the six-digit subheading that matches its material, form or processing. If two codes seem to fit, customs rules (the General Rules of Interpretation) decide, and when in doubt, confirm with your customs broker before filing.
