Laminated Automotive Windshield

A curved laminated safety glass windshield designed for passenger vehicles, consisting of two sheets of glass bonded with a polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer to prevent shattering upon impact. It falls under HTS 7007.29.00.00 as 'other' laminated safety glass, not specifically for aircraft. The PVB layer ensures safety by holding glass fragments in place during collisions.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify PVB interlayer thickness and glass specifications meet DOT FMVSS 205 standards for automotive use

• Include test certificates proving laminated safety performance to avoid reclassification as untempered glass

• Declare exact dimensions and curvature; mismatches can trigger audits for aircraft-specific exclusions
