HS code for Laminated safety glass: 7007.29
Glass, safety glass, laminated, (not of a size and shape suitable for incorporation in vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft or vessels).
Classification of laminated safety glass under HS 7007.29
Laminated safety glass is classified under HS code 7007.29 when it is produced for general applications, excluding the transport sector. This material is characterized by its "sandwich" construction, where two or more sheets of glass are permanently bonded together using one or more interlayers of tough, transparent plastic material, most commonly Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB). The primary safety feature of this glass is that, upon impact, the glass fragments tend to adhere to the plastic interlayer rather than shattering into sharp shards, thereby reducing the risk of injury. This specific code, 7007.29, is a "residual" category for laminated glass that is not specifically shaped or sized for use in vehicles, aircraft, or spacecraft. It is widely used in the construction industry for windows, glass doors, skylights, and glass floors where structural integrity and safety are paramount. The classification is determined by both the physical structure of the glass (lamination) and its intended end-use, provided it does not meet the criteria for transport-specific glass.

Codes often confused with 7007.29
Common mistake. It is often confused with HS code 7007.21, which is specifically for laminated safety glass of a size and shape suitable for incorporation in vehicles, aircraft, or vessels. It may also be mistaken for toughened (tempered) safety glass under 7007.19, which consists of a single layer of glass treated by heat or chemicals rather than multiple layers bonded with plastic.

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).
