About laboratory, hygienic or pharmaceutical glassware, whether or not graduated or calibrated

HS code 7017 covers a wide range of specialized glassware used in laboratories, healthcare facilities, and pharmaceutical production. This industry plays a crucial role in supporting scientific research, medical diagnostics, and the development of new drugs and therapies. The demand for high-quality, precision-engineered glassware is driven by the need for reliable, consistent, and contamination-free equipment in these critical industries.

Production process

The production of HS 7017 glassware typically involves a combination of traditional glass-blowing techniques and advanced manufacturing processes. Skilled artisans use specialized tools and equipment to shape, mold, and finish the glass into the desired forms, such as beakers, test tubes, and pipettes. Many items are also produced through automated processes, ensuring consistent quality and high-volume output to meet the needs of the laboratory, healthcare, and pharmaceutical sectors.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS 7017 glassware include high-purity raw materials, such as silica sand, soda ash, and limestone. Specialized machinery, including glass-blowing equipment, annealing ovens, and precision cutting tools, are also essential. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of executing complex glassmaking techniques and adhering to stringent quality control standards.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the HS 7017 industry are a diverse range of laboratory, hygienic, and pharmaceutical glassware, including beakers, test tubes, pipettes, Petri dishes, and specialized containers. These products are widely used in 3822 Medical, surgical, dental or veterinary diagnostics and 3006 Pharmaceutical preparations, as well as in various scientific research and development applications.
