About signalling glassware and optical elements of glass (other than those of heading no. 7015), not optically worked

HS code 7014 covers a diverse range of glass products used for signaling and optical applications. These items play a crucial role in various industries, from transportation and infrastructure to scientific research and medical equipment. As an important component of the broader glass manufacturing sector, the production and trade of these specialized glass products contribute significantly to the global economy.

Production process

The production of signaling glassware and optical elements typically involves a combination of glass-making techniques, such as blowing, molding, and pressing. Manufacturers may also employ advanced processes like annealing, tempering, and coating to enhance the durability, optical properties, and functionality of the final products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 7014 items include high-quality raw materials, such as silica sand, soda ash, and various mineral additives. Specialized machinery, including glass-forming equipment and precision grinding and polishing tools, are also essential for the manufacture of these specialized glass products. Additionally, skilled labor with expertise in glass processing and quality control is a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

The signaling glassware and optical elements produced under HS code 7014 find applications in a wide range of industries. These items are used in 8530 Electrical signalling, safety or traffic control equipment for railways, tramways, roads, inland waterways, parking facilities, port installations or airfields, 9013 Liquid crystal devices not constituting articles provided for more specifically in other headings; lasers, other than laser diodes; other optical appliances and instruments, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter, and 9031 Measuring or checking instruments, appliances and machines, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter; profile projectors.
