What decides the code
A tempered glass screen protector is classified as toughened safety glass under heading 7007, specifically subheading 7007.19.00.00.
- Material: tempered glass places the item in heading 7007 as toughened safety glass. A plastic film protector would fall under a different heading.
- Construction: the glass is toughened rather than laminated, which leads to subheading 7007.19.00.00.
- Use: the protector is cut to fit a device screen. Size and shape do not move it out of heading 7007.
Common mistakes
- Classifying under 3926 as a plastic article is wrong because the protector is glass, not plastic.
- Classifying under 8517 as a phone part is wrong because the protector is separate safety glass, not a component of the device.
- Classifying under 7020 as other glass articles is wrong because tempered safety glass is named in heading 7007.
