About HS Code 700600
This HS code covers flat glass that has undergone secondary processing beyond basic manufacturing, such as bending, edge-working, engraving, drilling, or enameling, but has not yet been framed or incorporated into a larger assembly. This category is crucial for specialized architectural applications, furniture, interior design, and certain industrial components. Importers are typically custom glass fabricators, furniture manufacturers, interior designers, and construction firms seeking pre-finished glass elements. Exporters are specialized glass processing companies with advanced machinery for cutting, shaping, and decorating glass. Key aspects include the precision of the working (e.g., drill hole accuracy, edge finish quality), the complexity of the bending, and the durability of enameling or engraving. The value added by these processes makes this glass distinct from raw sheets, catering to bespoke projects and high-end applications.
