Harmonized System Code Classification

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

Specifically, this chapter includes:

• Various types of glass: including flat glass, float glass, shaped glass, glass fiber, etc.
• Glass products: including glass containers (bottles, jars, etc.), glassware, glass lamps, glass fiber products, optical glass components, etc.

Classification is mainly based on material and use:

• Main component is glass: any product with glass as the main component will be classified under this chapter.
• Form and use of the product: classified according to the specific form and use of the glass product, such as containers, glassware, optical components, etc.

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