About glass; cast glass and rolled glass, non-wired sheets, (excluding those coloured throughout the mass (body tinted) opacified, flashed or having an absorbent or reflecting layer)

HS code 700319 covers a range of non-wired glass sheets that are produced through casting or rolling processes. This type of glass is widely used in various industries, including construction, automotive, and furniture manufacturing, due to its versatility and cost-effectiveness. As a key component in the global glass industry, the products under this code play a vital role in supporting economic growth and development across multiple sectors.

Production process

The production of glass sheets under HS code 700319 typically involves two main techniques: casting and rolling. In the casting process, molten glass is poured into molds and allowed to cool, resulting in a smooth, uniform surface. The rolled glass method involves passing the molten glass through a series of rollers, which creates a flat, even sheet. Both techniques aim to produce high-quality, non-wired glass sheets that can be used in a variety of applications.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of glass sheets under HS code 700319 include raw materials such as sand, soda ash, and limestone, as well as specialized machinery for the casting or rolling processes. Additionally, energy sources, such as natural gas or electricity, are necessary to melt and shape the glass. The industry also relies on skilled labor to operate the production equipment and ensure consistent quality.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the industry covered by HS code 700319 are non-wired glass sheets, which can be used in a wide range of applications. These sheets may be further processed or incorporated into various products, such as 700510 Glass; float glass and surface ground or polished glass, in sheets, but not otherwise worked, 700521 Glass; float glass and surface ground or polished glass, in sheets, but not otherwise worked, having an absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer, and 700600 Glass; of heading 7003, 7004 or 7005, bent, edge-worked, engraved, drilled, enamelled or otherwise worked, but not framed or fitted with other materials, among others.
