The HS Code 70049050 refers to a specific category of glass products known as "Drawn or Blown Glass, nesoi, in Sheets (other than Rectangular), nesoi." This code is used to classify and identify glass products that are not rectangular in shape and have been manufactured through the processes of drawing or blowing.
The term "nesoi" stands for "Not Elsewhere Specified or Indicated," indicating that the product does not fit into any other specific category within the HS Code system. The classification is further specified to include glass sheets that are not rectangular in shape but have been formed through the methods of drawing or blowing.
When importing or exporting glass products falling under HS Code 70049050, it is important to understand the associated regulations and duties. The bound or MFN (Most Favored Nation) duty rate for this HS Code is 5%. This means that every time a country lowers a trade barrier or opens up a market, it has to do so for the same goods or services from all its trading partners.
The quantity unit for this HS Code is square meters (M2), which is used to measure the size or area of the glass sheets being traded. This unit helps in determining the quantity and pricing of the imported or exported glass products.
