The first two digits of the HS code "70" represent glass and glassware.
Specifically, this chapter includes:
- Various types of glass: such as flat glass, float glass, shaped glass, glass fiber, etc.
- Glass products: such as glass containers (bottles, jars, etc.), glassware, glass lamps, glass fiber products, optical glass components, etc.
Classification is mainly based on material and usage:
- Main component is glass: any product with glass as the main component will be classified under this chapter.
- Product form: classified based on the specific form and usage 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 Chapter 70 of the HS code.
I hope this explanation is helpful to you!
