U.S. imports of non-wired float glass sheets — colored, opacified, flashed, or surface ground (no absorbent/reflecting layer) (HS 700521) totaled $1.7M in April 2026, traded with 18 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataTinted and body-colored flat glass — including flashed and surface-ground varieties without a functional coating — is a staple of the architectural and automotive glazing industries, and Mexico is the dominant US import source for this heading. China and the United Arab Emirates are also significant suppliers. The US tariff schedule breaks this heading into thickness bands: under 5 mm (7005211010), 5 mm to under 10 mm (7005211030), and 10 mm or more (7005212000), with thickness measurement at the point of entry being a routine classification issue. Chinese-origin glass in this category may be subject to antidumping or countervailing duty orders, and importers should verify current order scope before entry.

Antidumping and countervailing duty orders have historically covered certain flat glass products from China. Importers of Chinese-origin tinted or body-colored float glass should check the current scope of any active orders with the Department of Commerce and confirm applicability with a licensed customs broker before filing entry, as scope determinations can turn on specific product characteristics such as thickness and surface treatment.
'Colored throughout the mass' means the colorant is incorporated into the molten glass during production, so the tint is uniform through the full thickness. Surface-applied tints or films that are added after the glass is formed would not qualify under this description and could shift classification to a coated-glass heading. Importers should obtain mill certificates or production records confirming the coloring method.
