HTS heading 7015 is a broad product category for certain glass items used in watches, clocks, and spectacles. It covers clock or watch glasses; similar glass articles; curved, bent, hollowed, or otherwise shaped glass for noncorrective or corrective spectacles when the glass has not been optically worked; and hollow glass spheres or segments intended to make those glasses.
To choose the specific 8-digit HTS code, first confirm that the merchandise belongs in heading 7015 rather than another glass or optical category. Then use the applicable subheading structure, which commonly distinguishes the product by its type, intended use, or physical characteristics such as material and form. The product’s condition—such as whether it is merely shaped or has been optically worked—can also affect classification. Read the complete 8-digit description and any relevant legal notes, not just the heading title.
What to check
- Confirm the item is made of glass and is intended for a covered clock, watch, spectacle, or related use.
- Check whether the glass is only shaped or has been optically worked, such as ground, polished, or otherwise processed to produce an optical effect.
- Record the product’s form, dimensions, construction, and whether it is a finished glass, a hollow sphere, or a segment used to manufacture one.
- Compare the full descriptions under heading 7015 and verify which material, type, or use distinction matches the merchandise.
- Keep supplier specifications, drawings, photographs, and technical information supporting the classification; request customs-broker or ruling guidance if the processing or intended use is unclear.

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.
