Classification of tempered safety glass under HS 7007.19
Tempered safety glass is classified under HS code 7007.19. This classification falls under Chapter 70, which covers glass and glassware. Heading 7007 is dedicated to safety glass, consisting of toughened (tempered) or laminated glass. The subheading 7007.19 specifically refers to toughened (tempered) safety glass that is not of a size and shape suitable for incorporation in vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft, or vessels. Tempered glass is created through a process of controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass. When broken, it shatters into small granular chunks instead of jagged shards, reducing the risk of injury. This specific HS code is used for glass intended for architectural use, furniture, and household appliances. The classification depends on both the manufacturing process (tempering) and the end-use application (non-vehicular).

Codes often confused with 7007.19
Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification is with HS code 7007.11, which is for tempered glass specifically shaped for use in vehicles, aircraft, or ships. Another common error is confusing tempered glass with laminated safety glass, which falls under 7007.21 or 7007.29. Laminated glass consists of two or more layers of glass joined by a plastic interlayer, whereas 7007.19 is strictly for single-layer toughened glass.

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).
