Tempered Safety Glass — Non-Vehicular Use

CBP focuses on whether the glass is dimensionally or structurally configured for a specific vehicle application. Non-vehicular tempered glass typically ships as standard rectangular sheets or in shapes suited for building or furniture use, without vehicle-specific curvature or OEM part references. Invoices describing the end-use (e.g., 'shower enclosure panels' or 'architectural glazing') and the absence of vehicle-specific specifications support classification under 7007190000.

Generally yes — tempered glass for appliance applications such as oven doors, refrigerator shelves, or microwave windows is not 'suitable for incorporation in vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft, or vessels' and classifies under 7007190000. However, if the glass is part of a complete appliance assembly imported together, the classification of the finished appliance under Chapter 84 or 85 may govern instead. Importers should assess whether the glass is entering as a standalone component or as part of a finished good.
