Importers of Pressed or Molded Glass for Construction, Leaded Windows, and Foam Glass paid $1.9M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 30% on $6.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Pressed or Molded Glass for Construction, Leaded Windows, and Foam Glass imports of $7.0M in July 2026 ran 25% above the year-to-date monthly average of $5.6M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataArchitectural glass articles formed by pressing or molding — including glass bricks (7016901010), slabs and tiles (7016901050), leaded windows, and multicellular foam glass panels (7016905000) — serve the commercial construction, historic preservation, and building envelope industries. China and Vietnam lead US supply under this heading, with Thailand, Czech Republic, and Mexico also contributing. Leaded glass windows and foam glass panels occupy the same tariff line (7016905000), so importers of insulating foam glass boards should verify that their product is not better classified as a thermal insulation material under another chapter.

Certain glass products from China have been subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders in the US. Importers of pressed or molded glass construction articles from China should check the US International Trade Commission and Commerce Department's active order lists to determine whether their specific product falls within the scope of any existing order before entry.
CBP may request product specifications, photographs, or manufacturer's declarations to confirm that an article is a leaded glass window (hand-assembled with lead came) rather than a laminated or insulating glass unit. Providing detailed technical descriptions and, where applicable, artistic or heritage certifications can help avoid misclassification into insulating glass headings.
