Body Tinted Float Glass Sheet 12mm Thick
This is float glass tinted throughout its mass (body tinted) with a uniform color like bronze or gray, measuring 12mm in thickness, used primarily for building facades and windows. It falls under HTS 7005.21.20.00 because it is nonwired float glass, colored throughout the mass, surface ground or polished, and at least 10mm thick, without further working. The tint is integral to the glass composition, not a surface coating.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If untinted and clear
Non-colored float glass, even if 10mm+ thick and with absorbent/reflecting layers, falls under 7005.10 as 'nonwired sheets, not colored throughout the mass'.
If cut to specific shapes or further tempered
Once cut to shape beyond sheets or safety-tempered, it becomes 'toughened safety glass' in 7007.29, no longer 'not otherwise worked' sheets.
If in strips less than 15.2cm wide
Chapter notes specify products of 7006 (narrow strips) remain classified there even if sheet-like, regardless of thickness or tinting.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify thickness measurement complies with '10mm or more' via certified caliper tests to avoid reclassification; ensure documentation proves body tinting (not surface coated) with lab analysis; declare exact color and opacity to match subheading criteria
