U.S. imports of Laminated Safety Glass for Vehicles, Aircraft, Spacecraft, and Vessels (HS 700721) totaled $27.7M in August 2026, imported from 48 countries.
Importers of Laminated Safety Glass for Vehicles, Aircraft, Spacecraft, and Vessels paid $1.5M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 5.25% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataLaminated safety glass for transport applications — most prominently automotive windshields — is one of the more commercially significant glass headings in US trade, with Mexico the leading supplier and China and Japan also prominent. The US schedule separates windshields (7007211100, further subdivided by motor-vehicle versus other transport at 7007211110 and 7007211190) from other vehicular laminated glass (7007215100), making the specific glazing position a classification factor. Laminated glass consists of two or more glass plies bonded by a polymer interlayer (typically polyvinyl butyral), and the lamination process — not just the shape — is what distinguishes it from tempered glass under the same chapter.

Both OEM and aftermarket replacement windshields that are laminated and sized for motor vehicles classify under 7007211110, provided they are not imported as part of a complete vehicle. The classification does not depend on whether the windshield is original equipment or a replacement part — the determining factors are the laminated construction and the motor-vehicle dimensional fit. Importers of aftermarket windshields should ensure invoices specify the laminated construction to avoid misclassification.
The most common interlayer is polyvinyl butyral (PVB), but other polymer films and cast-in-place resins are also used. The key requirement is that the glass plies are permanently bonded through the interlayer under heat and pressure, creating a composite that holds together on breakage. A glass assembly held together only by a removable film or adhesive tape would not qualify as laminated safety glass under heading 7007.
