Glass of heading no. 7003, 7004 or 7005; bent, edge-worked, engraved, drilled, enamelled or otherwise worked, but not framed or fitted with other materials

HS code 700600 covers a range of processed glass products that are used in various industries, including construction, automotive, and consumer goods. These specialized glass products are created by applying various techniques to the base glass materials produced under HS codes 7003, 7004, or 7005. The versatility and unique properties of these processed glass products make them essential components in many applications, contributing to the overall growth and development of the global economy.

The main production techniques used for HS code 700600 items include bending, edge-working, engraving, drilling, and enameling. These processes are applied to the base glass materials to create customized shapes, patterns, and finishes that meet specific functional and aesthetic requirements. Skilled technicians and specialized equipment are utilized to ensure the precise execution of these techniques, resulting in high-quality glass products that are fit for their intended purposes.

The primary inputs required for the production of HS code 700600 items are the base glass materials covered under HS codes 700300 Glass cast in sheets, profiled, or otherwise worked, but not otherwise worked, 700400 Drawn glass and blown glass, in sheets, whether or not having an absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer, but not otherwise worked, and 700500 Float glass and surface ground or polished glass, in sheets, whether or not having an absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer, but not otherwise worked. Additionally, the production process may require various tools, machinery, and consumables, such as grinding and polishing equipment, enameling materials, and specialized cutting and shaping tools.

The processed glass products covered under HS code 700600 are used in a wide range of applications, including architectural and interior design, automotive components, consumer electronics, and specialty industrial applications. These glass products may be further incorporated into finished goods that fall under other HS codes, such as 700900 Glass mirrors, whether or not framed, including rear-view mirrors, 701910 (Glass fibers (including glass wool) and articles thereof (for example, yarn, woven fabrics)), and 701990 Articles of glass, n.e.s., among others.
