Heading 7007

Safety glass, consisting of toughened (tempered) or laminated glass

7 declarable lines

Heading 7007 covers safety glass: glass that has been toughened (tempered) or laminated so it resists breaking or breaks safely. The heading splits first by process, toughened in 7007.11 and 7007.19, laminated in 7007.21 and 7007.29, then by whether the piece is cut to size and shape for vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft or vessels, with a further split for windshields within the laminated vehicle group.
