Glass mirrors, unframed, excluding rear-view mirrors for vehicles.
Classification of unframed mirrors under HS 7009.91
Unframed mirrors are classified under HS code 7009.91 according to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) of the Harmonized System. This specific code falls under Chapter 70, which covers glass and glassware, and Heading 7009, which is dedicated to glass mirrors, whether or not framed. The classification 7009.91 is specifically reserved for mirrors that are not mounted in a frame and are not intended for use as rear-view mirrors in vehicles. The determination for this code is based on the physical characteristics of the glass—specifically that it has been coated on one surface with metal (such as silver, aluminum, or chromium) to create a reflective surface—and the absence of any surrounding structure made of wood, metal, plastic, or other materials. If the mirror is cut to a specific shape but remains unframed, it still falls under this subheading. The classification process involves verifying that the product is indeed glass-based and that the reflective coating is the primary functional element, distinguishing it from decorative glass that lacks a reflective backing.

Codes often confused with 7009.91
Common mistake. Unframed mirrors are frequently misclassified under HS code 7009.10, which is strictly for rear-view mirrors for vehicles, or HS code 7009.92, which covers mirrors that are already framed. Another common error is using HS code 7006.00, which applies to glass that is bent, edge-worked, or engraved but not mirrored. It is crucial to distinguish between simple silvered glass (7009.91) and glass that has been further worked into a specific instrument, which might fall under Chapter 90.

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).
