HS code for Cast glass sheets: 7003.19
Glass, cast glass and rolled glass, non-wired sheets, (excluding those coloured throughout the mass (body tinted) opacified, flashed or having an absorbent or reflecting layer).
Classification of cast glass sheets under HS 7003.19
Cast glass sheets are classified under HS code 7003.19 because they are produced through a casting or rolling process where molten glass is passed between rollers to achieve a specific thickness and surface texture. This specific subheading covers non-wired sheets that have not been colored throughout the mass (body tinted), opacified, flashed, or provided with an absorbent, reflecting, or non-reflecting layer. The classification depends on the physical state of the glass after the rolling process and the absence of secondary treatments that would place it in more specific categories like 7003.12. The Harmonized System distinguishes glass primarily by its manufacturing method; 7003 specifically identifies glass that has been cast or rolled, which typically results in a surface that is not as perfectly flat or clear as float glass. To fall under 7003.19, the glass must be in the form of sheets and must not contain an internal wire mesh, which is a common reinforcement used in industrial or fire-rated glass applications.

Codes often confused with 7003.19
Common mistake. Cast glass is frequently confused with float glass, which falls under HS code 7005. While both are glass sheets, float glass is manufactured by floating molten glass on a bed of molten tin to create perfectly parallel surfaces. Additionally, if the cast glass is wired, it must be classified under 7003.20. If the glass has been tinted or has an absorbent layer, it belongs under 7003.12. Importers often mistake processed glass (tempered or laminated) for basic cast glass; however, once glass is toughened or laminated, it moves to heading 7007.

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).
