Opacified Polished Glass Sheet 15mm Thick
A 15mm thick sheet of float glass that has been opacified throughout to create a milky, translucent appearance, often used in decorative partitions or shower enclosures. Classified in HTS 7005.21.20.00 as other nonwired glass that is opacified (not just surface ground), measuring 10mm or more in thickness, and not otherwise worked. Opacification is achieved by additives in the glass mass during manufacturing.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If thinner than 10mm
Same body tinted/opacified nonwired glass but measuring less than 10mm thick shifts to 7005.29 subheading for thinner sheets.
If further worked into articles like panels
If shaped, edged, or assembled into finished articles (e.g., framed panels), it moves to 7016.90 as 'other glass articles'.
If containing binders resembling stone
Opacified glass agglomerated with binders may be seen as imitation stone under 6807, but pure glass stays in Chapter 70.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide spectrographic evidence of opacification throughout the mass, not surface etching; measure and certify thickness at multiple points to confirm >=10mm; watch for misdeclaration as 'clear' glass leading to audits

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.
Flashed Bronze Tinted Glass Sheet 10mm Thick
