7007.11.00 - Of size and shape suitable for incorporation in vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft or vessels

This HTS category, 7007.11.00, specifically addresses toughened (tempered) safety glass that is manufactured in sizes and shapes intended for direct installation in vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft, or vessels. The defining characteristic here is the pre-formed nature of the glass, indicating it is ready for integration into these specialized modes of transport rather than being a general-purpose flat glass that might be subsequently cut and shaped.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 7007.19.00 ("Other" toughened safety glass), by its explicit suitability for incorporation into specific transportation equipment. While 7007.19.00 would cover toughened safety glass that is not specifically shaped or sized for these applications, 7007.11.00 covers those pieces that are already engineered for their intended use in the aforementioned transportation sectors.

The subcategories within 7007.11.00 further refine the classification based on the specific end-use within these sectors. Category 7007.11.00.10 is reserved for toughened safety glass designated for motor vehicles falling under Chapter 87 of the HTS. The residual category, 7007.11.00.90, encompasses all other toughened safety glass of this type intended for aircraft, spacecraft, or vessels, providing a comprehensive breakdown for accurate customs declarations.
