Fire-Resistant Wired Glass Sheets from China
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.

Import Tips
• Document the reflecting layer's thickness and composition to prove it meets the 'microscopically thin' standard of Chapter 70 Note 2(c)
• Ensure the fire-resistant properties do not involve additional treatments like lamination, which would shift classification
• Have fire-test certifications ready in case the CBSA requests evidence of the product's stated use
