Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "70" represent Glass and articles of glass.

Specifically, this chapter includes:

• Various types of glass: Including flat glass, light-transmitting glass, architectural glass, automotive glass, etc.
• Glass articles: Including glass containers (bottles, jars, etc.), glass fiber, glass tubes, glass instruments, glass beads, glass bulbs, glass mirrors, etc.

Classification is mainly based on material and use:

• Main component is glass: All products with glass as the main component will be classified in this chapter.
• Form and use of the articles: Subdivided according to the specific form and use of the glass articles, such as containers, fibers, instruments, etc.

In short, if the main component of the product is glass and it is a processed glass article, it is likely to be classified under HS code Chapter 70.
