Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If derived from broken lab glassware
Recycled borosilicate fragments are cullet/scrap, not virgin mass.
If formed into tubes before export
Even unwrought tubes are 'drawn glass' under heading 7002.
If for laboratory use if sold as finished labware
End-use as lab articles shifts to heading 7017.

Import Tips & Compliance
β’ Label with boric oxide content to distinguish from soda-lime; helps CBP verify non-waste status
β’ Use ISF filings for bulk glass shipments over 100kgs to preempt holds
