15mm Low-E Coated Float Glass Sheets from Japan
Energy-efficient float glass sheets 15mm thick with a low-emissivity (low-E) reflecting layer to reduce heat loss, used in windows. Fits HTS 7005.29.25.00 for thick nonwired sheets, where the thin metallic coating qualifies as a reflecting layer per chapter notes. Not otherwise worked beyond surface polishing.

Import Tips
• Include technical data sheets detailing the reflecting layer composition to align with chapter note (b)
• Ensure import docs distinguish between sheet glass and finished windows to stay in Chapter 70 heading 7005
• Test for lead content if crystal-like; though rare in float glass, it affects other classifications
