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
