Unworked Glass Beads 4mm Diameter from Germany
These are unworked glass balls measuring 4 mm in diameter, used primarily as raw material in jewelry making and decorative applications. They fall under HTS 7002.10.10.00 because they are glass balls not over 6 mm in diameter and lack any working beyond basic forming. No annealing or cutting processes have been applied post-formation as per chapter notes.

Import Tips
• Verify diameter with calipers to confirm under 6 mm; mismeasurement leads to reclassification
• Provide mill test reports certifying unworked status and glass composition to avoid duties on worked glass
• Ensure no coatings or treatments applied, as absorbent/reflecting layers per chapter notes could shift to heading 7006
