Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7005.29.25Higher: 39.9% vs 35%

If 5-10mm thick

Same type but thickness 5-10mm shifts to adjacent subheading 7005.29.25.

7006.00Lower: 14.9% vs 35%

If in strips or profiles

Glass drawn/produced in strips or rigid tubes classifies under 7006 even if coated.

Import Tips & Compliance

Test and certify absorbent properties (e.g

solar heat gain coefficient <0.4) for customs validation

Ensure no post-anneal cutting—chapter note (a) excludes pre-anneal processes but cutting affects classification
