Overview
This HTS category, 7009, encompasses all types of glass mirrors, regardless of whether they are presented with or without a frame. This includes a broad range of reflective glass items, from decorative wall mirrors to functional mirrors used in various applications. The defining characteristic is the use of glass as the base material, which has been treated to create a reflective surface.
Unlike sibling categories within Section XIII which deal with materials like stone, cement, or ceramics, or other chapters focused on different types of manufactured goods, Chapter 70 specifically segregates all glass and glassware. Within Chapter 70, category 7009 distinguishes itself by focusing solely on mirrors made from glass, as opposed to other glass articles such as panes, plates, or hollow glassware.
The subcategories within 7009 further refine the classification based on the mirror's intended use. For instance, 7009.10.00.00 specifically identifies rear-view mirrors designed for use in vehicles. The "Other" designation would then encompass all remaining types of glass mirrors not explicitly itemized, such as those for personal grooming, interior decoration, or industrial purposes.
