HS Code 7005.10 – Glass; float glass and surface ground or polished glass, in sheets, non-wired, having an absorbent reflecting or non-reflecting layer
HS code 7005.10 is the 6-digit subheading for glass, float glass and surface ground or polished glass, in sheets, non-wired, having an absorbent reflecting or non-reflecting layer. It is used for low-E glass, reflective architectural glass, anti-glare display glass, solar control glass and tinted float glass with coating.
What HS 7005.10 covers
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.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
