7014.00
Signaling glassware and optical elements of glass (other than those of heading 7015), not optically worked
Analysis
Subheading 7014.00 covers signaling glassware and optical elements of glass (other than those of heading 7015), not optically worked, within heading 7014. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 4 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 4 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 3.3% to 5% with a median of 3.75%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 7014.00.10 for lens blanks (other than for spectacles) (4.1%), 7014.00.20 for optical elements: other (5%), 7014.00.30 for lenses and filters, and parts thereof (3.4%) and 7014.00.50 for other: other (3.3%).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Other Pressed and Blown Glass and Glassware Manufacturing (327212). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
