Opacified Rolled Frosted Glass Sheets from China
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.

Import Tips
• 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
