HS code for Rolled glass shapes: 7003.30
Glass, cast glass and rolled glass, profiles, not otherwise worked.
Classification of rolled glass shapes under HS 7003.30
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.

Codes often confused with 7003.30
Common mistake. 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.
Top exporters and importers of HS 700330 (the code used for rolled glass shapes), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 700330 (the code used for rolled glass shapes) in UN Comtrade data was France, with 46% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Saudi Arabia, with 20% of world imports.

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. 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).
