About glass; safety glass, toughened (tempered), of size and shape suitable for incorporation in vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft or vessels

HS code 700711 covers toughened (tempered) safety glass that is sized and shaped for use in vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft, or vessels. This type of specialized glass is essential for the transportation industry, providing enhanced safety and durability compared to standard glass. The production and trade of this safety glass plays a crucial role in supporting the global transportation infrastructure and ensuring the safety of passengers and cargo.

Production process

The production of HS 700711 safety glass involves a process known as tempering. In this process, regular annealed glass is heated to a high temperature and then rapidly cooled, which increases its strength and impact resistance. The glass is then cut and shaped to the desired size and specifications for use in various transportation applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS 700711 safety glass include high-quality float glass, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for the tempering process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating the production equipment and ensuring consistent quality control.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS 700711 is toughened safety glass for use in vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft, and vessels. This glass is often used for windshields, side windows, and other glazing applications where enhanced safety and durability are required. The output of this industry may be consumed by manufacturers of 870323 passenger cars, 880240 aircraft, 890190 vessels, and other transportation equipment.
