Opacified Rolled Frosted Glass Sheets
Rolled glass sheets rendered opaque throughout the mass by incorporating opacifying agents like fluorides during production, ideal for privacy partitions. Classified in 7003.12.00.00 as nonwired, opacified cast/rolled glass not otherwise worked. Opacification is integral to the glass body per chapter notes.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If float glass with surface frosting
Float-produced opacified sheets classify under 7005 subheadings, differentiated by manufacturing method.
If containing >50% silica and resembling worked stone
Certain opacified mineral compositions may fall into Chapter 68 if not qualifying as 'glass'.
If further etched or sandblasted
Any post-annealing working like acid etching moves it to 'other worked glass' in 7006.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document opacification process to distinguish from etched/sandblasted glass, which is 'worked' under 7006
• Ensure compliance with thickness tolerances for sheets vs profiles to avoid misclassification
• Test for uniform opacity throughout mass; non-uniform may be deemed surface treated
Related Products under HTS 7003.12.00.00
Body Tinted Cast Green Glass Sheets
These are cast and rolled glass sheets colored green throughout the mass via metal oxides added during melting, used primarily in architectural glazing. They fall under HTS 7003.12.00.00 because they are nonwired sheets with body tinting as defined in the chapter notes, not otherwise worked beyond annealing. The tint provides solar control without additional coatings.
Flashed Red Cast Glass Sheets
Cast glass sheets with a thin red layer fused onto a clear base during rolling, creating a flashed effect for decorative stained glass applications. HTS 7003.12.00.00 applies to nonwired flashed sheets not otherwise worked, as flashing is specified in the subheading. This technique embeds color without additional processing.
Low-E Absorbent Layer Rolled Glass Sheets
Rolled glass sheets with a microscopically thin metal oxide layer applied before annealing to absorb infrared light for energy-efficient windows. Fits 7003.12.00.00 as cast/rolled nonwired sheets with an absorbent layer per chapter note (b), not regarded as worked. Layer enhances thermal performance while retaining transparency.
Bronze Body Tinted Architectural Glass Panels
Nonwired cast and rolled glass sheets uniformly tinted bronze throughout the mass for sun control in building facades. Classified under HTS 7003.12.00.00 due to body tinting process and lack of further working like edging. Provides aesthetic warmth and UV reduction.
Opaque White Opacified Glass Sheets for Partitions
Cast rolled sheets opacified white throughout the mass using opacifiers for use in office partitions and shower screens. HTS 7003.12.00.00 covers such nonwired opacified sheets not otherwise worked. Opacity is achieved integrally during glass formation.
Solar Reflective Coated Rolled Glass Sheets
Rolled glass sheets with a pre-anneal thin metallic reflecting layer to bounce solar heat, used in greenhouses. Matches 7003.12.00.00 for nonwired sheets with reflecting layer per chapter notes, retaining translucency. Layer microscopically thin as specified.
