7007.11.00.90 - Other

This HTS category, 7007.11.00.90, covers toughened (tempered) safety glass that is of a size and shape suitable for incorporation into vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft, or vessels, but which is not specifically for motor vehicles. This classification applies to toughened safety glass meeting the size and shape requirements for these modes of transport, where the primary intended use is not as a component within the motor vehicles themselves. Examples include toughened glass for aircraft cabin windows, ship portholes, or spacecraft viewports.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, HTS 7007.11.00.10, which is specifically designated for toughened safety glass intended for motor vehicles of Chapter 87. Therefore, if the toughened safety glass is intended for use as, for instance, a windshield, side window, or rear window of a car, truck, or bus, it would fall under the sibling category. This node, however, captures similar toughened safety glass when its application is outside the scope of typical motor vehicle components, such as for recreational boats or larger commercial vessels.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. The classification is determined solely by whether the toughened safety glass is of a size and shape suitable for incorporation in vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft or vessels, and its exclusion from the specific motor vehicle classification. The primary classification criteria here are the tempering process of the glass, its dimensions and form factor, and its intended end-use in non-motor vehicle transport applications.
