HS code for Toughened glass panels: 7007.19
Glass, safety glass, toughened (tempered), (not of a size and shape suitable for incorporation in vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft or vessels).
Classification of toughened glass panels under HS 7007.19
Toughened glass panels are classified under HS code 7007.19. This code falls under Chapter 70, which covers glass and glassware. Heading 7007 is specifically for safety glass, consisting of toughened (tempered) or laminated glass. Subheading 7007.19 is reserved for toughened safety glass that is not of a size and shape suitable for incorporation in vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft, or vessels. Toughened glass is treated by heat or chemicals to increase its strength compared with normal glass. The process involves heating the glass to approximately 600 degrees Celsius and then rapidly cooling it, which creates internal stresses that cause the glass, when broken, to crumble into small granular chunks instead of splintering into jagged shards. The classification depends heavily on the end-use application and the physical dimensions of the glass. If the glass is intended for architectural use, furniture, or household appliances, it falls under 7007.19. The distinction is made to separate general-purpose safety glass from specialized safety glass designed for the automotive or aerospace industries.

Codes often confused with 7007.19
Common mistake. Toughened glass panels are frequently misclassified under HS code 7007.11. This code is specifically for toughened safety glass of a size and shape suitable for incorporation in vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft, or vessels. If the glass is for a car window, it belongs in 7007.11; if it is for a building window, it belongs in 7007.19. Another common mistake is using HS code 7007.29, which is for laminated safety glass. Laminated glass consists of two or more layers of glass bonded with a plastic interlayer, whereas toughened glass is a single layer that has been thermally or chemically treated. Finally, if the glass is framed or worked in a way that it becomes a finished article (like a mirror or a framed picture), it might move to 7009 or 7013.

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).
