Product classification
HS code for Automotive mirrors: 7009.10
Glass, rear-view mirrors for vehicles.
Classification of automotive mirrors under HS 7009.10
Automotive mirrors are classified under HS code 7009.10, which is situated in Chapter 70 (Glass and glassware). Heading 7009 covers glass mirrors, whether or not framed, including rear-view mirrors. Subheading 7009.10 is specifically designated for rear-view mirrors for vehicles. This classification takes precedence over Chapter 87 (Parts and accessories of motor vehicles) because of Note 2(b) to Section XVII, which excludes articles of glass (Chapter 70) from being classified as parts of vehicles. Therefore, even though a mirror is a dedicated component of a car, it must be classified according to its constituent material (glass) under the specific heading for mirrors. This applies to both interior and exterior rear-view mirrors. The mirrors may be mounted in frames of plastic or metal and may include electronic components (such as heating elements or dimming sensors), but the essential character remains a glass mirror under 7009.10.

Codes often confused with 7009.10
Common mistake. A common error is attempting to classify these mirrors under 8708.99 as "parts and accessories of motor vehicles." However, the Section XVII notes explicitly direct glass mirrors to Chapter 70. Another misclassification occurs with 7009.91 or 7009.92, which are for "other" glass mirrors (unframed and framed, respectively). These should only be used for general-purpose mirrors, not those specifically designed as rear-view mirrors for vehicles. If the mirror is not made of glass (e.g., polished metal), it would be classified based on its material or as a vehicle part.

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).
