7007.21.11.10 - For motor vehicles of chapter 87

This HTS category, 7007.21.11.10, specifically classifies laminated safety glass that is of a size and shape precisely suited for direct incorporation as windshields in motor vehicles of chapter 87. This designation signifies that the glass is manufactured to meet the rigorous specifications required for vehicular windshields, including curvature, dimensions, and often pre-drilled mounting points. The "motor vehicles of chapter 87" clause ensures that the intended application is for road-going automobiles, trucks, buses, and similar vehicles covered by that chapter.

The distinction from its sibling category, 7007.21.11.90 ("Other"), lies in the specificity of application. While the sibling category would encompass laminated safety glass suitable for other vehicular components (such as side windows or rear windows), this particular subheading is exclusively for windshields. This fine-grained classification allows customs authorities to accurately track specific types of automotive glass based on their critical function and precise fitment requirements.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, this classification does not have further subcategories. Its specificity means that any laminated safety glass that meets the criteria of being of size and shape suitable for vehicles, laminated, and intended for use as a windshield in a chapter 87 motor vehicle will fall directly into this 10-digit code. The classification hinges on the combination of material (laminated safety glass), form (suitable for vehicles), and specific intended end-use (windshield for motor vehicles).
