About HS Code 847529
This broad HS code encompasses machinery for manufacturing or hot working glass or glassware, excluding the specialized equipment for optical fibers. It covers a vast array of industrial machines used in the production of everyday glass products, from bottles, jars, and flat glass (windows, mirrors) to laboratory glassware and decorative items. These machines perform processes like blowing, pressing, molding, tempering, and annealing. International trade in this category is driven by global demand for diverse glass products across construction, packaging, automotive, and consumer goods sectors. Importers are typically glass product manufacturers seeking to modernize or expand their production capabilities, while exporters are often countries with robust industrial machinery manufacturing sectors. The trade volume is significant, reflecting the ubiquitous use of glass in modern society.
Products Under This Code
Glass bottle blowing machines, flat glass tempering furnaces, glass tube drawing machines, laboratory glassware forming machines, glass pressing machines, glass annealing lehrs, glass cutting and grinding machines, glass bending furnaces
Real World Examples
Emhart Glass container machines, Bucher Emhart Glass production lines, Heye International glass forming machines, Bystronic Glass flat glass processing, Glaston tempering furnaces
Common Misclassification
Can be confused with machines for assembling electric lamps (847510) if the primary function isn't clearly 'manufacturing or hot working' general glass, or with optical fiber machinery (847521) if the 'not for optical fibers' distinction is missed.
Products Classified Under 8475.29
Industry
This code belongs to the Electronics & Electrical Equipment industry.
Trade Overview
Major trade flows involve countries with large glass manufacturing industries and machinery producers, including China, Germany, Italy, and the USA.
