HTS heading 7009 is a broad product category for glass mirrors, whether or not they have a frame. It includes ordinary mirrors and other mirrors made with a glass reflecting surface, including rear-view mirrors. The heading describes the general product family, not the final tariff classification or duty treatment.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, first confirm that the item is actually a glass mirror rather than a polished metal mirror, a glass product with a different primary function, or a mirror incorporated into another classified article. Then review the subheadings and tariff provisions for the mirror’s type and characteristics, such as whether it is a rear-view mirror, whether it is framed, and the materials or construction used. The product’s intended use, physical design, and condition as imported can all matter, so confirm the current HTSUS wording and seek customs-broker advice when the facts are not clear.
What to check
- Describe the mirror’s reflecting surface, backing, frame, and mounting method using supplier specifications and product photographs.
- Check whether the item is a rear-view mirror or another specially described mirror before relying on a general or residual provision.
- Determine whether the frame or attached components change the product’s essential character or place it in another tariff category.
- Compare the complete product as imported with the relevant HTSUS subheading descriptions and any applicable legal notes.
- Keep records supporting the classification, and ask a customs broker or request a binding ruling when competing codes could reasonably apply.

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.
