About signalling glassware and optical elements of glass (other than those of heading no. 7015), not optically worked

HS code 7014 covers a diverse range of signalling glassware and optical elements made from glass, excluding those classified under heading 7015. These products play a crucial role in various industries, from transportation and communication to scientific research and medical applications. As an important component of the broader glass manufacturing sector, this industry contributes significantly to the global economy and supports a wide range of downstream activities.

Production process

The production of signalling glassware and optical elements under HS code 7014 typically involves several key steps. First, the raw materials, such as silica sand, soda ash, and other mineral additives, are carefully measured and mixed to create the desired glass composition. The mixture is then melted in a high-temperature furnace, and the molten glass is either blown, pressed, or otherwise formed into the desired shapes and sizes. Depending on the specific product, additional processes like annealing, polishing, or coating may be applied to enhance the glass's properties and performance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 7014 products include high-quality silica sand, soda ash, limestone, and other mineral additives that are used to formulate the glass composition. Specialized equipment, such as glass-blowing machines, presses, and annealing ovens, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor, energy sources, and transportation infrastructure are important inputs that support the industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the HS code 7014 industry are a diverse range of signalling glassware and optical elements, including signal lamps, traffic lights, instrument panels, and various types of lenses and prisms. These products are often used in 8530 Railway or tramway signalling, safety or traffic control equipment, 8539 Electric filament or discharge lamps, including sealed beam lamp units and ultraviolet or infrared lamps; arc-lamps, and 9013 Liquid crystal devices not constituting articles provided for more specifically in other headings; lasers, other than laser diodes; other optical appliances and instruments, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter.
