Alternative Classifications

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

7017.10.30.00Same rate: 35%

If further processed into finished laboratory glassware

Completed lab articles like stirrers move to heading 7017 for laboratory glassware.

7002.10Lower: 10% vs 35%

If in ball form rather than rod

Heading 7002.10 covers unworked glass balls; form determines subheading.

6909.90.00.00Higher: 39% vs 35%

If crucibles or other lab ceramic ware

Non-glass ceramic lab rods classify under Chapter 69.
