HS code 7016 covers a diverse range of glass products, including paving blocks, slabs, bricks, tiles, and decorative glass smallwares. These items are primarily produced through pressing and molding techniques, and are used in a variety of applications across the construction, interior design, and specialty glass industries. As a key component of many building and home furnishing products, the 7016 industry plays an important role in the broader economy.

Production process

The main production techniques used in the 7016 industry involve pressing and molding glass into the desired shapes and forms. This typically starts with the melting of raw materials such as sand, soda ash, and limestone to create the molten glass. The glass is then poured into molds or pressed into the required shapes, before being cooled and annealed to ensure structural integrity. Decorative glass smallwares may also be produced through additional processes like cutting, etching, or applying decorative elements.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the 7016 industry are the raw materials used to produce glass, such as sand, soda ash, limestone, and other mineral additives. Specialized molds, pressing equipment, and annealing ovens are also essential machinery and equipment required for the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as natural gas or electricity, are needed to power the melting and production stages.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the 7016 industry include paving blocks, slabs, bricks, and tiles made of pressed or molded glass, as well as decorative glass smallwares like vases, figurines, and leaded lights. These products are often used in the construction, home improvement, and interior design sectors, and may be consumed by industries covered under other HS codes, such as 6810 Building components of cement, concrete or artificial stone and 9405 Lamps and lighting fittings, including searchlights and spotlights, and parts thereof, not elsewhere specified or included; illuminated signs, illuminated name-plates and the like, having a permanently fixed light source, and parts thereof not elsewhere specified or included.
