HS Code 7005.30 – Glass; float glass and surface ground or polished glass, in sheets, wired glass, whether or not having an absorbent or reflecting layer
HS code 7005.30 is the 6-digit subheading for glass, float glass and surface ground or polished glass, in sheets, wired glass, whether or not having an absorbent or reflecting layer. It is used for wired fire-rated glass, wired safety glass, wired obscure glass, wired patterned glass and wired solar-reflective glass.
What HS 7005.30 covers
This code specifically identifies wired float glass or surface-ground/polished glass sheets, which are characterized by a mesh of wire embedded within the glass during manufacturing. This internal wire mesh provides enhanced safety and fire resistance, preventing the glass from shattering into large, dangerous pieces upon impact or thermal shock. In international trade, these products are primarily imported by construction companies, fire safety contractors, and specialized building material suppliers for use in fire-rated doors, windows, skylights, and partitions, particularly in commercial and public buildings where safety regulations are stringent. Exporters are specialized glass manufacturers capable of producing wired glass, often with additional coatings for solar control or reflection. Key considerations include the wire mesh pattern, the glass thickness, and any additional layers that might provide absorbent or reflective properties, all of which impact its performance and application.

Codes often confused with 7005.30
Common mistake. Can be mistaken for other safety glass types under 7007 (e.g., laminated or toughened glass) if the specific "wired" characteristic is overlooked, or for non-wired float glass (700521/700529) if the wire mesh isn't visible or clearly identified.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 700530, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 700530 in UN Comtrade data was Japan, with 51% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 14% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

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).
