Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2505.10.10Lower: 35% vs 41.5%

If natural silica sand, not fused glass

Unfused natural quartz sands are mineral products, lacking glassy structure of processed frit.

3207.30.00Lower: 38.1% vs 41.5%

If prepared as liquid lustre

Solvent-based lustre preparations from same glass differ from dry powder form.
