Absorbent IR Float Glass Sheet 3mm 0.7m²

Surface-ground float glass with an absorbent layer coating that blocks infrared light for heat control in greenhouses and skylights. Measuring 3mm thick and 0.7 m², it qualifies for HTS 7005.29.18 as other non-wired float glass with an absorbent layer, polished but not further worked. Chapter notes confirm such microscopically thin coatings keep it in sheets.

Alternative Classifications

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

7005.21Lower: 15.6% vs 35%

If under 0.65 m² area

Smaller sheet area (<0.65 m²) uses the prior subheading in the same thickness category.

6806.20.00Same rate: 35%

If textured or patterned surface

Glass with rolled patterns or textures exceeding basic polish classifies as worked glass in 6806.

7013.99.50Higher: 40% vs 35%

If further processed into articles

Chapter note for 7006 applies similarly; post-import fabrication into labware moves to 7013.

Import Tips & Compliance

Submit technical datasheets detailing the IR-absorbent coating chemistry to validate the 'absorbent layer' claim

Ensure area measurement excludes packaging; over 0.65 m² is critical for this subheading
