HTS heading 7007 covers safety glass made from either toughened (tempered) glass or laminated glass. It is a broad 4-digit product category, not usually the final tariff classification. The glass may be used in vehicles, buildings, appliances, furniture, or other products, but its safety-glass construction is the starting point.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, first identify whether the item is toughened or laminated, then review the more specific tariff breakouts. Depending on the applicable subheading structure, classification may also depend on the glass’s design or form, such as whether it is curved, shaped, assembled, or intended for a particular use. Confirm the complete 8-digit description in the current HTSUS and do not rely only on a product name or marketing description.
What to check
- Confirm the product is safety glass, and document whether it is toughened (tempered) or laminated.
- Check the physical specifications: number of layers, interlayer material, shape, curvature, holes, cutouts, and whether components are attached.
- Review the full 8-digit HTSUS descriptions under heading 7007, including any relevant use or design distinctions.
- Use manufacturer specifications, drawings, photographs, and test documentation to support the classification.
- Ask a customs broker or seek a binding classification decision if the product’s construction or intended use could fit more than one provision.
HTS heading 7007 summary
Safety glass is a 4-digit product category containing 3 published product-code lines in this snapshot. A heading does not carry one universal duty rate; classification must be narrowed to the line matching the product facts.
How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
