About laboratory, hygienic or pharmaceutical glassware, whether or not graduated or calibrated

HS code 7017 covers a wide range of specialized glassware used in laboratories, healthcare facilities, and pharmaceutical production. These products play a crucial role in scientific research, medical diagnostics, and the manufacturing of essential medicines and healthcare products. The global demand for laboratory, hygienic, and pharmaceutical glassware has steadily increased in recent years, driven by advancements in scientific research, the growing healthcare industry, and the need for high-quality, precision-engineered glass containers and equipment.

Production process

The production of HS code 7017 glassware typically involves a combination of traditional glass-blowing techniques and modern automated manufacturing processes. Skilled artisans often hand-craft specialized laboratory equipment, while mass-produced items like beakers and test tubes are manufactured using automated glass-forming machines. The glassware is then carefully annealed, inspected, and often graduated or calibrated to meet the precise requirements of its intended use.

Production inputs

The primary raw material for HS code 7017 glassware is high-quality borosilicate or soda-lime glass. Manufacturers also require a range of specialized tools and equipment, such as glass-blowing torches, molds, and precision measuring devices. Depending on the specific product, additional components like stoppers, lids, and specialized coatings may also be incorporated into the final design.

Production outputs

HS code 7017 glassware is used across a wide range of industries, including 9018 Medical, surgical, dental or veterinary instruments and appliances, 3822 Diagnostic or laboratory reagents on a backing, prepared diagnostic or laboratory reagents, and 3005 (Wadding, gauze, bandages and similar articles (for example, dressings, adhesive plasters, poultices), impregnated or coated with pharmaceutical substances or put up in forms or packings for retail sale for medical, surgical, dental or veterinary purposes). These products are essential for conducting scientific experiments, performing medical tests, and manufacturing critical healthcare and pharmaceutical products.
