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
