About carboys, bottles, flasks, jars, pots, phials, ampoules, containers of glass of a kind used for the conveyance or packing of goods; preserving jars of glass; stoppers, lids and other closures of glass

HS code 7010 covers a wide range of glass containers and packaging products that are essential for the transportation, storage, and preservation of various goods across numerous industries. These glass containers play a crucial role in the global supply chain, ensuring the safe and efficient movement of products from producers to consumers. As a versatile and durable material, glass is a preferred choice for packaging a diverse array of goods, from food and beverages to pharmaceuticals and chemicals.

Production process

The production of glass containers under HS code 7010 typically involves a multi-step process. The primary raw materials, such as sand, soda ash, and limestone, are melted at high temperatures to create molten glass. This molten glass is then formed into the desired shapes and sizes using various techniques, including blowing, pressing, and molding. The finished containers may undergo additional processing, such as annealing, to improve their strength and durability.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of glass containers under HS code 7010 include raw materials like sand, soda ash, and limestone, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for the melting, forming, and finishing processes. Additionally, energy sources, such as natural gas or electricity, are necessary to maintain the high temperatures required for glass production. The industry also relies on skilled labor, including glass technicians and engineers, to ensure the quality and efficiency of the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The glass containers produced under HS code 7010 are used for a wide range of applications, including the storage and transportation of 2203 Beer made from malt, 2204 Wine of fresh grapes, including fortified wines; grape must other than that of heading 2009, 2208 Undenatured ethyl alcohol of an alcoholic strength by volume of less than 80% vol; spirits, liqueurs and other spirituous beverages, 3004 (Medicaments (excluding goods of heading 3002, 3005 or 3006) consisting of mixed or unmixed products for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, put up in measured doses (including those in the form of transdermal administration systems) or in forms or packings for retail sale), and various other consumer and industrial products. The glass containers produced under this code are often consumed by industries covered under other HS codes, such as the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical sectors.
