Alternative Classifications

7005.10Lower: 14.4% vs 35%

If actually float glass mistaken for blown

7005 covers float-produced sheets; visual inspection or production docs distinguish from blown/drawn.

7016.90.50.00Higher: 40% vs 35%

If sold as finished picture frame glazing with processed edges

If edges are seamed or framed, it becomes a 'glass article' under 7016 rather than raw sheet.

7003Lower: 16.3% vs 35%

If not in rectangular sheet shape, e.g., irregular blown forms

Non-rectangular drawn/blown glass stays in 7003; rectangular sheets shift to 7004 subheading.

Import Tips & Compliance

Declare production method (blown vs drawn) explicitly in commercial invoice to avoid disputes with float glass classification

Test for non-reflecting layers if coated; declare if present as it doesn't affect heading but requires note

Package securely to prevent breakage; use customs valuation including packing costs to avoid undervaluation penalties
