About HS Code 700330

This HS code specifically covers cast or rolled glass in non-sheet forms, such as profiles, which have not undergone further working beyond their initial shaping. These unique glass products are primarily traded for architectural and design applications, offering distinct aesthetic and structural possibilities. Importers and exporters typically include specialized architectural glass suppliers, construction companies focused on modern facades, and interior design material distributors. The "profile" aspect, such as U-shaped channel glass, allows for self-supporting glass walls and innovative lighting solutions, making it a niche but significant segment of the glass market. Its classification hinges on its cast/rolled origin and its profile shape, distinguishing it from flat sheets.

Products Under This Code

U-profile glass, channel glass, cast glass blocks (raw), decorative glass profiles, structural glass profiles

Real World Examples

Common Misclassification

This code might be confused with 700600 if the glass undergoes significant further working like bending or drilling, but 700330 is specifically "not otherwise worked" beyond its profile. It also differs from 700319/700320 which are flat sheets.
