Alternative Classifications

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

6914.10Lower: 19% vs 41%

If ceramic composition instead of glass

Heavy wall rods in ceramic materials for lab use classify under Chapter 69.

7006.00.40Lower: 39.9% vs 41%

If cast or rolled into sheets first

Glass processed via casting before rod forming may remain in 7006 as cast articles.

7019Lower: 14.3% vs 41%

If chopped into staple fibers

Rods processed into yarn-like glass fibers fall under 7019 per glass wool definitions.

Import Tips & Compliance

Cross-sectional diagrams showing wall thickness aid in distinguishing from tubes

Certify no internal drilling or boring, which would make them worked tubes

Monitor diameter; very thin rods risk confusion with fibers under 7019 glass wool

Unworked Soda-Lime Glass Rods

Cylindrical soda-lime glass rods that are unworked, meaning they have not undergone processes like cutting, grinding, or polishing beyond basic forming and annealing. These rods fall under HTS 7002.20.50.00 as unworked glass rods other than those of fused quartz or other fused silica, used primarily as raw material for further manufacturing.

Borosilicate Glass Rods Unworked

Unworked borosilicate glass rods, seamed tubes or solid rods formed by drawing molten glass and annealed but without further processing. Classified in HTS 7002.20.50.00 as 'other' unworked rods, ideal for applications requiring thermal resistance before fabrication into lab equipment.

Seamed Soda Glass Rods Unworked

Unworked seamed glass rods made from soda-lime glass, featuring a longitudinal seam from the drawing process, annealed but not cut or surfaced. HTS 7002.20.50.00 covers these as other unworked rods, used in rod drawing or tube production.

Neutral Glass Rods for Pharmaceutical Tubing

Unworked neutral-type glass rods intended for drawing into pharmaceutical tubing, annealed post-forming with no additional working. These fit HTS 7002.20.50.00 as other unworked rods due to their raw state before ampoule or vial production.
