HS Code 7007.21 – Glass; safety glass, laminated, of size and shape suitable for incorporation in vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft or vessels
HS code 7007.21 is the 6-digit subheading for glass, safety glass, laminated, of size and shape suitable for incorporation in vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft or vessels. It is used for automotive windshields, aircraft cockpit windows, bullet-resistant vehicle glass, train driver's cabin glass and marine vessel bridge windows.
What HS 7007.21 covers
This HS code pertains to laminated safety glass specifically designed and shaped for incorporation into vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft, or vessels. Laminated glass consists of two or more panes of glass bonded together with an interlayer (typically PVB), which holds the glass together even when shattered. This property is critical for occupant retention, preventing ejection, and maintaining visibility after impact. Major traders include specialized glass manufacturers supplying the automotive, aerospace, and marine industries. Trade considerations include strict safety certifications (e.g., DOT, ECE), optical quality, and acoustic insulation properties, which are increasingly important in modern vehicle design. The global transportation sector relies heavily on the import and export of this advanced safety material.

Codes often confused with 7007.21
Common mistake. Often confused with 700711 (toughened safety glass for vehicles) because both are for vehicles, but laminated glass offers superior occupant retention and shatter resistance.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
