Unworked Soda-Lime Glass Rods from Germany
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.

Import Tips
• Verify the glass composition to confirm it is not fused quartz or silica, as those classify under 7002.20.10.00
• Provide certificates of analysis showing unworked status (no drawing to precise dimensions or surface treatment beyond annealing)
• Avoid misclassification as worked rods in 7002.32 if any seaming or fire polishing has occurred
