70 — Glass and glassware
Glass and glassware
Names come in English where the EU Combined Nomenclature publishes them — chapters, headings and subheadings, whose first six digits are the same Harmonized System; deeper EAEU detail is a machine translation, marked as such. Official texts — tariff notes, measures, lists and classification rulings — are the original: customs and your broker go by that wording. Where we show a machine translation of them, it is marked; where our quality check rejected one, the Russian stays.
Notes to chapter 70 — Glass and glassware 6 items
Notes
Machine translation. The original is the Russian text of the EAEU tariff, and customs goes by it; this translation is for understanding only and has no legal force.
1. This group does not include:
(a) the goods of heading 3207 (e.g. vitreous enamels and glazes, vitreous fritta, other glass in powder, granules or flakes);
(b) articles of Chapter 71 (for example, jewelry);
(c) fiber optic cables of heading 8544, electrical insulators (heading 8546) or fittings of insulating materials of heading 8547;
(d) front windshields, rear windows and other framed windows for vehicles of Chapters 86 to 88;
(e) front windshields, rear windows and other windows, whether or not framed, containing heating or other electrical or electronic devices for vehicles of Chapters 86 to 88;
(f) optical fibers, optically processed optical elements, subcutaneous injection syringes, artificial eyes, thermometers, barometers, hydrometers or other articles of Chapter 90;
(g) luminaires and lighting fixtures, light signs, light plates bearing a name or address or similar articles having an integrated light source or parts thereof of heading 9405;
(h) toys, games, sports equipment, Christmas tree decorations or other articles of Chapter 95 (except glass eyes without doll machinery or other articles of Chapter 95); or

2. For headings 7003, 7004 and 7005:
(a) the glass is not considered to be “treated” by whatever processes it undergoes prior to annealing;
(b) the cutting of the glass in its shape does not change its classification as sheet glass;
(c) the term “absorbing, reflective or non-reflective layer” means a microscopically thin coating with a metal or chemical compound (e.g., a metal oxide) that absorbs, for example, infrared radiation or improves the reflectivity of the glass while maintaining its degree of transparency or transmittance; or that prevents light from reflecting from the surface of the glass.
3. Articles falling within heading 7006 are also included where they have the character of finished articles.
4. For the purposes of heading 7019, the term “glass” means:
(a) mineral wool with a content of silica (SiO2) not less than 60 wt.%;
(b) mineral wool with a content of silica (SiO2) less than 60 wt.%, alkali metal oxide (K2O or Na2O) more than 5 wt.% or boron oxide (B2O3) more than 2 wt.%.
Other types of mineral wool are classified in heading 6806.
5. Throughout the Nomenclature, the term “glass” means fused quartz and other fused silica.
