Tubing Draw Stock Glass Rods
Unworked glass rods specifically manufactured as draw stock for producing capillary or pharmaceutical tubing. These rods are annealed and seamed, and have not undergone any working processes beyond initial forming. They are classified under tariff item 7002.20.00 as unworked rods, distinct from finished tubes.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the draw stock is made of borosilicate glass with low expansion
Borosilicate rods for pharmaceutical tubing often have low expansion and may be classified here.
If the draw stock is made of soda-lime glass with higher expansion
Soda-lime draw stock falls under this subheading for other glass rods.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the rods are not yet drawn into tubes; if they are, they would fall under a different subheading
• Provide a technical datasheet showing the rod's intended use as draw stock
• Be prepared to demonstrate that no working (e.g
• cutting, polishing) has occurred beyond annealing
