HS code for Custom cut glass: 7006.00
Glass of heading no. 7003, 7004 or 7005, bent, edge-worked, engraved, drilled, enamelled or otherwise worked, but not framed or fitted with other materials.
Classification of custom cut glass under HS 7006.00
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.

Codes often confused with 7006.00
Common mistake. 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.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. 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).
