HTS heading 7003 is a four-digit product category for certain cast glass and rolled glass supplied as sheets or profiles. It can include glass with an absorbent, reflecting, or non-reflecting coating or layer, as long as the glass has not been otherwise worked beyond the processing allowed by the relevant tariff provisions. “Cast” and “rolled” describe how the glass was made, while “sheets” and “profiles” describe its form.
A merchant narrows heading 7003 to an eight-digit HTSUS subheading by matching the product’s technical characteristics to the more specific tariff description. The key distinctions commonly involve the type or composition of the glass, its form, thickness or other physical features, and whether it has a permitted layer or has undergone additional processing. Cutting, drilling, edging, tempering, laminating, shaping, or other work may move a product to a different heading, so the complete tariff text and product facts must be compared. When the facts are unclear, a customs broker or binding classification ruling may be appropriate.
What to check
- Confirm that the glass was cast or rolled, rather than drawn, float-made, laminated, or manufactured by another process.
- Check whether the item is a flat sheet or a profile, and record its material, dimensions, thickness, and any relevant technical specifications.
- Identify every coating, layer, surface treatment, or backing, and verify whether it is an absorbent, reflecting, or non-reflecting layer covered by the heading.
- Determine whether the glass has been otherwise worked—such as cut to shape, drilled, edged, tempered, laminated, or assembled—and check whether that changes the heading.
- Compare the product with the current HTSUS eight-digit descriptions and obtain broker or ruling guidance when the manufacturing process or further processing is uncertain.
HTS heading 7003 summary
Cast glass and rolled glass is a 4-digit product category containing 4 published product-code lines in this snapshot. A heading does not carry one universal duty rate; classification must be narrowed to the line matching the product facts.
How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.

Common questions
What products fall under HTS heading 7003?
Cast glass and rolled glass, in sheets or profiles, whether or not having an absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer, but not otherwise worked. To classify a specific item you must pick the matching sub-category and 8-digit code above; the right choice usually depends on the material and construction of the product.
How do I choose the right code within this category?
Start from the sub-categories (typically divided by material—for example cotton versus man-made fibers), then open the active 8- or 10-digit code that matches the product. When unsure, a licensed customs broker or a CBP binding ruling can confirm the classification.
