Product classification
HS code for Vehicle mirrors: 7009.10
Glass, rear-view mirrors for vehicles.
Classification of vehicle mirrors under HS 7009.10
Vehicle mirrors are classified under HS code 7009.10. This code is located within Chapter 70, which covers glass and glassware. Heading 7009 specifically addresses glass mirrors, whether or not framed, including rear-view mirrors. Subheading 7009.10 is dedicated to rear-view mirrors for vehicles. This classification follows the principle that articles of glass remain in Chapter 70 even if they are specialized for use in vehicles, provided they are not specifically excluded by the section notes. Under GRI 1, the specific mention of "rear-view mirrors for vehicles" in 7009.10 takes precedence over more general parts categories. This includes both the glass mirror element itself and the mirror when mounted in a frame or housing, as long as the essential character of the article is that of a mirror. This applies to both interior and exterior mirrors used for rear-viewing purposes.

Codes often confused with 7009.10
Common mistake. Vehicle mirrors are often incorrectly classified under HS code 8708.99, which is the residual category for other parts and accessories of motor vehicles. However, Section XVII Note 2(c) explicitly excludes mirrors of glass (Chapter 70) from being classified as vehicle parts in Chapter 87. Another common mistake is using 7009.92, which is for other framed glass mirrors; 7009.10 is more specific for vehicular use. Digital camera-based "mirrors" (monitor systems) are also misclassified here; those belong in 8525.89 or 8528.59 as they are electronic displays, not glass mirrors.

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).
