Processed quartz sand with 95-98% silica and iron <0.5%, specifically manufactured for low-iron float glass used in photovoltaic panels. Falls under HTS 2506.10.0010 as non-natural quartz sand meeting the silica/iron parameters after milling and flotation purification. Critical for producing clear glass that maximizes solar transmission.

Import Tips
• Submit process flow diagrams showing quartz crushing/screening to prove non-natural status for 2506.10.0010
• Batch-test for iron content variability; inconsistent lots may require re-testing and risk reclassification
