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: flat glass, glass fiber, glass tubes, glass beads, etc.
• Glass products: containers (bottles, jars, cups, etc.), glass fiber products, optical glass components, automotive glass, lighting glass, etc.

Classification is mainly based on material and use:

• Main component is glass: any product primarily made of glass will be classified under this chapter.
• Manufacturing process: products made through glass manufacturing processes, even if further processed, are usually still classified under this chapter.
• Use: although the uses are diverse, any glass product falls under this chapter.

In summary, the HS code "70" is classified based on the material (glass) and manufacturing method.

If you can provide a more specific HS code (e.g., 7001, 7010, etc.), I can provide a more detailed explanation.
