Last updated: August 2026 dataWired glass — flat glass with an embedded wire mesh fused into the sheet during production — has historically been specified for fire-rated glazing applications in commercial construction, though modern fire-rated glazing standards increasingly favor alternative products. Japan and the Netherlands are the leading US import sources for this heading, which consolidates into a single 10-digit line (7005300000). The wire mesh is a defining physical characteristic that separates this product from all non-wired flat glass headings; importers should confirm the wire is embedded (not laminated or surface-applied) to maintain classification here rather than under heading 7007.

Not necessarily. Building codes in many US jurisdictions have moved away from wired glass as a compliant safety-glazing material in hazardous locations, because it can fracture into sharp shards on impact. Wired glass classified under 7005 is distinct from tempered or laminated safety glass under heading 7007. Importers and specifiers should verify that the product meets applicable ANSI or local building code requirements for the intended application before purchase.
Wired glass under 7005 has a metal wire mesh fused within the glass body during the rolling process and is not 'otherwise worked' beyond that. Laminated safety glass under 7007 consists of two or more glass plies bonded by an interlayer (typically PVB or resin) through a separate lamination process. The production method and the nature of the interlayer material are the key classification differentiators.
