Soda-Lime Glass Mass Billets
Unworked soda-lime glass in the form of solid billets or lumps, produced by melting raw materials and cooling into massive shapes without further processing. Classified under HTS 7001.00.20.00 as 'glass in the mass, other' since it is unworked glass not drawn, blown, or otherwise formed into specific shapes.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If consisting of glass waste or scrap like broken bottles
Cullet and waste/scrap of glass fall under the specific subheading 7001.00.10, while clean mass is 'other'.
If drawn into balls of uniform diameter
Glass balls, even unworked in appearance, are classified under drawn glass in heading 7002 if shaped.
If it's mineral wool not meeting glass wool specs in Chapter 70 note
Non-compliant mineral wools are reclassified to heading 6806 as worked mineral products.

Import Tips & Compliance
β’ Verify the glass is free of contaminants and not classified as waste/scrap under 7001.00.10 to avoid misclassification
β’ Provide certificates of composition confirming it's fused silica or standard glass mass, not activated glass from heading 8549
β’ Declare exact weight and purity levels; common pitfall is undervaluing bulk shipments leading to audits
