Last updated: August 2026 dataToughened (tempered) safety glass cut and shaped for direct incorporation into motor vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft, or marine vessels is a high-volume automotive supply-chain commodity, with Mexico the dominant US import source and China a close second. The US schedule splits the heading between motor-vehicle applications under Chapter 87 (7007110010) and all other transport modes — aircraft, spacecraft, and vessels (7007110090). Chinese-origin tempered automotive glass may be subject to Section 301 tariffs, and importers should verify current applicability by HTS line before entry.

CBP generally looks for evidence that the glass is cut, shaped, or otherwise configured specifically for a vehicle application — such as a curved profile, pre-drilled mounting holes, or dimensional specifications matching an OEM part number. Generic flat tempered glass that could serve multiple uses may not satisfy this standard and could be classified under the non-vehicular heading 7007190000 instead. Technical drawings, OEM purchase orders, or part-number documentation help support the vehicular-use classification.
Yes. Tempered safety glass for motor vehicles from China has been subject to Section 301 tariffs. The applicable rate and any exclusions can change, so importers should consult the current USTR Section 301 list and confirm the correct HTS line with a licensed customs broker before filing entry.
