Subheadings
Products classified under Tariff item 7005.30.00
Anti-Glare Wired Glass Sheets
Anti-glare wired glass sheets are float-produced, polished glass panels with an embedded wire mesh for shatter resistance and a microscopically thin non-reflecting coating. This coating qualifies as a non-reflecting layer under Chapter 70 Note 2(c), and the wire mesh places the glass squarely under tariff item 7005.30.00 as wired glass. The sheets are not otherwise worked beyond polishing and coating, so they remain within this heading.
Clear Wired Polished Glass Sheets
Clear wired polished glass sheets are standard float glass with an embedded steel wire mesh, surface-polished for optical clarity, and no additional coatings or layers. The wire mesh reinforces the glass, and the polishing does not constitute 'working' beyond what is permitted for heading 70.05 under Chapter 70 Note 2(a). These sheets are not otherwise worked, making them a direct match for tariff item 7005.30.00 as wired glass.
Fire-Resistant Wired Glass Sheets
Fire-resistant wired glass sheets are float glass with embedded wire mesh designed to hold glass intact during heat exposure, with a surface-ground finish and a reflecting layer. The reflecting layer is a microscopically thin metal oxide coating that qualifies under Chapter 70 Note 2(c), and the wire mesh makes it wired glass. The glass is not otherwise worked, so it falls under tariff item 7005.30.00.
Polished Wired Glass with Low-E Coating
Polished wired glass with a low-E coating consists of float glass sheets with embedded wire and a non-reflecting low-emissivity layer that improves energy efficiency. The low-E coating is a microscopically thin chemical layer that qualifies as a non-reflecting layer under Chapter 70 Note 2(c), and the wire mesh classifies the product as wired glass. The sheets are polished but not otherwise worked, fitting tariff item 7005.30.00.
Solar Reflective Wired Glass Panels
Solar reflective wired glass panels are float glass sheets with embedded wire and a microscopically thin solar-reflective metal oxide coating, polished but not further worked. The coating absorbs or reflects infra-red light while retaining transparency, meeting the definition of a reflecting layer in Chapter 70 Note 2(c). The embedded wire makes these panels wired glass, placing them under tariff item 7005.30.00.
Tinted Wired Glass with Wire Grid
Tinted wired glass with a wire grid is body-tinted float glass with an embedded wire mesh for structural integrity, featuring a polished surface. The tint is integral to the glass body and does not constitute an added layer or working beyond what is allowed for heading 70.05 under Chapter 70 Note 2(a). The wire grid makes it wired glass, so it falls under tariff item 7005.30.00.
Wired Float Glass Sheets
Wired float glass sheets are float glass embedded with a wire mesh grid for reinforcement, featuring a polished surface but not otherwise worked. The wire mesh provides shatter resistance and defines the product as wired glass under tariff item 7005.30.00. The sheets may have absorbent, reflecting, or non-reflecting layers, but the core classification rests on the wired construction and lack of further working.
