Low-E Coated Float Glass Sheets
Float glass sheets with a low-emissivity (low-E) coating, featuring a microscopically thin metal oxide layer that reflects infrared light to improve energy efficiency. Classified under HTS 7005.10.80.00 as nonwired float glass having a reflecting layer, not otherwise worked beyond the coating per chapter notes. Primarily used in energy-efficient windows for residential and commercial buildings.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If low-E coating transmits >75% light
High light transmittance low-E glass falls under subheading for colored or tinted glass in sheets with R <= 15% transmittance.
If tempered or toughened
Safety-tempered float glass with coatings is classified in 7007 as toughened (tempered) glass, regardless of layer.
If cut to specific non-rectangular shapes
Chapter note (b) excludes cutting to shape from 'worked' for sheets, but non-rectangular or profiled cuts may shift to 7006 for shaped glass.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the coating qualifies as an 'absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer' per chapter note (c) with lab test reports to avoid reclassification
• Ensure sheets are surface ground or polished but not otherwise worked (e.g
• no drilling or edging) to stay in 7005; provide mill certificates
