Analysis
HTS 7004.90.20 covers measuring over 0.26 m2 in area under heading 7004 (drawn glass and blown glass, in sheets, whether or not having an absorbent, reflecting or…).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 5%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 7004.90.50 (other glass: other), at 5%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 5 percentage points.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 28% of the 192 tariff lines in chapter 70. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 327212 (Other Pressed and Blown Glass and Glassware Manufacturing), an industry of 376 US establishments employing 10,738 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of Free.
