Glass, float glass and surface ground or polished glass, in sheets, wired glass, whether or not having an absorbent or reflecting layer.
Classification of wired polished glass under HS 7005.30
Wired polished glass is classified under HS code 7005.30. This classification falls within heading 7005, which covers float glass and surface ground or polished glass in sheets. The specific subheading 7005.30 is dedicated to "wired glass," which is glass that has a wire mesh embedded within its structure during the manufacturing process. The "polished" or "float" aspect is crucial; this glass has been processed to have perfectly flat and parallel surfaces, providing clear vision without distortion. This distinguishes it from "cast" or "rolled" wired glass, which may have a textured surface and is classified under heading 7003. Wired glass is primarily used for safety and fire-resistance purposes, as the wire mesh holds the glass fragments together if it breaks or is exposed to high heat. The classification applies to sheets of glass that have not yet been worked into specific shapes or frames. The presence of the wire mesh is the primary defining characteristic for this subheading within the float glass category.

Codes often confused with 7005.30
Common mistake. This product is frequently confused with 7003.20, which covers wired glass that is cast or rolled but not polished or ground. It is also sometimes misclassified under 7007.19 or 7007.29, which cover toughened (tempered) or laminated safety glass. While wired glass is a type of safety glass, the HS nomenclature provides a specific subheading for wired glass under the float/polished heading (7005) or cast heading (7003).

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).
