Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the block is worked or shaped
Worked glass of heading 70.06 covers glass that has been processed beyond the mass stage.
If the block is ground into a finished telescope mirror
Optical elements of Chapter 90 apply to finished mirrors.

Import Tips & Compliance
• >- Ensure the block is not yet machined or worked; any grinding or polishing would move it to another heading
• Have documentation showing it is a raw material for future processing
• If the block is imported for use in telescope mirrors, be aware that finished mirrors fall under Chapter 90

Architectural Glass Melt Lumps
>- Lumps of melt from architectural flat glass production, unworked for remelt. These are glass in the mass, other than fused quartz, prior to sheet forming.
Borosilicate Glass Chunks
>- Massive chunks of borosilicate glass, known for thermal resistance, in unworked form straight from the melting furnace. This is other glass in the mass, used as raw material for labware and cookware.
Colored Soda Glass Masses
>- Soda glass in mass with integrated colorants like cobalt for blue tint, unworked. Classified as other glass in the mass, with color from the melt rather than surface treatment.
Container Soda Glass Billets
>- Soda glass billets in mass form for remelting into bottles and jars, unworked and amorphous. This is other glass in the mass, excluding scrap or activated types.
Electric-Fused Quartz Mass
>- A bulk mass of quartz glass produced by electric arc fusion, known for low bubble content in high-end applications. This is glass in the mass of fused quartz, unworked and not yet shaped or processed into articles.
Flame-Polished Fused Silica Mass
>- Fused silica in mass form with flame-polished surfaces to minimize defects, used in fiber optic preform production. The flame polishing is a pre-annealing process, so the glass remains unworked and classifiable as glass in the mass.
