HS Code for Custom cut glass
Custom cut glass falls under HS code 7006.00 when it consists of glass from headings 7003 (cast/rolled), 7004 (drawn/blown), or 7005 (float glass) that has been further worked. "Worked" in this context means the glass has been bent, edge-worked (e.g., ground, polished, beveled), engraved, drilled, or enameled. However, for it to remain under 7006.00, it must not be framed or fitted with other materials. This code is used for glass that has been tailored to specific dimensions or shapes for architectural, furniture, or industrial applications but remains a semi-finished component. The classification process involves verifying that the glass has undergone more than just simple cutting to shape, which would typically keep it in headings 7003-7005, yet has not reached the stage of being a finished "article of glass" or a composite product. The value-added processes like beveling or drilling are the key indicators for 7006.00. It represents a middle stage in the manufacturing chain where the glass is no longer a bulk commodity but not yet a final consumer product like a mirror or a window.

Common Misclassification
Custom cut glass is often misclassified under 7005 if the user assumes "cut to size" is the only process; however, 7005 is for unworked glass. It is also frequently confused with 7007, which is specifically for safety glass (tempered or laminated). If the custom glass is tempered, it must go to 7007. Additionally, if the glass is framed, it may move to 7009 (mirrors) or 7308 (structures) depending on the application.
