Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If enamel or ceramic frit layer applied
Glass with enamel absorbent layers for decoration or solar control is in 7005.10.50, separate from metal oxide reflecting layers.
If drawn glass instead of float
Drawn glass sheets with reflecting layers (not float) classify under 7004, as 7005 is specific to float glass.
If sold as pre-glazed window units
If assembled into frames or panned units for retail sale, it becomes a glazed article under 7016.
