Explore global trade with HS codes

HS Code 7007 covers safety glass, consisting of toughened (tempered) or laminated glass. The classification distinguishes between toughened glass for vehicles/aircraft/spacecraft/vessels (7007.11), other toughened glass (7007.19), laminated glass for vehicles/aircraft/spacecraft/vessels (7007.21), and other laminated glass (7007.29). This specialized glass category includes engineered products designed to break safely or resist penetration. Toughened glass fractures into small granular pieces rather than sharp shards, while laminated glass holds together when shattered due to an interlayer of polymer material. Products range from automotive windshields to architectural safety glazing. Technical specifications focus on impact resistance, breakage patterns, optical clarity, and compliance with safety standards for specific applications. This division represents specialized glass processing beyond basic manufacturing, incorporating thermal or chemical treatments and/or composite construction to create products with enhanced safety characteristics for applications where injury prevention is critical.
