About HS Code 700510
This HS code covers a specialized segment of flat glass: float glass and surface ground or polished glass, in sheets, that is non-wired and features an absorbent, reflecting, or non-reflecting layer. This category is crucial for modern architecture and automotive industries, encompassing products like low-emissivity (low-E) glass, solar control glass, reflective facade glass, and anti-glare glass. These coatings are applied to enhance energy efficiency, reduce glare, or provide specific aesthetic qualities. Importers are typically window and door manufacturers, architectural glass fabricators, automotive glass suppliers, and large construction companies. Exporters are major global glass manufacturers with advanced coating technologies. Key trade considerations include the specific properties of the coating (e.g., U-value, solar heat gain coefficient, light transmittance), sheet dimensions, thickness, and compliance with energy efficiency and building performance standards.
Products Under This Code
Low-E glass, reflective architectural glass, anti-glare display glass, solar control glass, tinted float glass with coating, insulated glass units (with coated panes)
Real World Examples
Pilkington K Glass, Guardian SunGuard, AGC Stopray, Saint-Gobain Planitherm, Schott Mirogard (anti-reflective glass)
Common Misclassification
Can be confused with 700521 (float glass, non-wired, other) or 700530 (float glass, wired) if the specific surface layer and non-wired aspect are not carefully noted.
Products Classified Under 7005.10
Industry
This code belongs to the Automotive & Vehicles industry.
Trade Overview
China, USA, and European countries are major producers and consumers of advanced architectural and automotive glass.
