HS Code for Rolled glass shapes
Rolled glass shapes, such as U-sections or L-sections, are classified under HS code 7003.30. This code is part of Heading 7003, which covers cast and rolled glass. Unlike subheadings 7003.12 through 7003.20, which are reserved for glass in the form of flat sheets (whether wired or not), 7003.30 is specifically for 'profiles.' In the context of the Harmonized System, profiles are products that do not conform to the definition of sheets or plates; they are typically shaped during the rolling or casting process into non-flat cross-sections. These profiles must be 'not otherwise worked,' meaning they have not been toughened (tempered), laminated, or framed. The classification is based on the manufacturing method (rolling/casting) and the final geometric form (profile). This distinction is crucial because it separates structural glass elements from standard window or decorative sheets, reflecting their use in specialized architectural applications.
Products Included
- U-shaped structural glass profiles
- L-shaped rolled glass sections
- Corrugated rolled glass profiles
- T-shaped cast glass elements
- Other non-flat rolled glass profiles not further worked
Common Misclassification
Rolled glass shapes are frequently misclassified under 7003.19 or 7003.12. These codes are only for glass in 'sheets,' whereas 7003.30 is the specific provision for 'profiles.' Another common error is classifying these under 7016.90 (multicellular glass or glass blocks). While glass blocks are used for similar structural purposes, they are distinct from the continuous profiles produced by the rolling process described in heading 7003.
FAQ
What is the HS code for rolled glass shapes?
The HS code for rolled glass shapes (profiles) that have not been further worked is 7003.30.
Are these shapes considered tempered glass?
No, if the glass profiles have been tempered or toughened, they must be classified under heading 7007, as 7003 only covers glass that is not otherwise worked.
