CHAPTER

70Glass and glassware

In plain English

This category includes sheets of drawn or blown glass that may feature layers designed to absorb, reflect, or block light, provided they have not been processed further. One group covers these sheets if they are colored throughout their entire structure, made opaque, flashed, or include such special layers. The other group captures all remaining sheets of this type that do not possess those specific colors, opacity, flashing, or light-altering layers.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
