Fused Quartz Glass Lumps
High-purity fused quartz glass in irregular lump form, created by fusing silica at high temperatures into a massive, unworked state. Falls under HTS 7001.00.20.00 per Chapter 70 note including fused quartz as 'glass in the mass, other', ideal for remelting in optics production.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If contaminated or mixed with production scrap
Any waste or scrap character shifts it to cullet subheading regardless of quartz purity.
If drawn or cut into unwrought rods or tubes
Post-melting drawing processes move it from mass to cast/rolled glass in heading 7003.
If Doped fused silica may be seen as prepared chemical product, not pure glass.

Import Tips & Compliance
β’ Include lab analysis proving silica content >99% to confirm fused quartz status under Chapter 70 definitions
β’ Avoid packaging that suggests worked glass; ship in bulk to prevent reclassification as articles
