Ground Edge Borosilicate Glass Strips

Borosilicate glass strips sourced from heading 7005, measuring 10 cm wide, 3 mm thick, with all longitudinal edges ground smooth for precision applications. These strips are edge-worked but not framed or fitted, fitting HTS 7006.00.10.00 due to their specific dimensions and processed edges from cast or rolled glass.

Alternative Classifications

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

7005.10Lower: 14.4% vs 43.8%

If unworked before annealing

Unprocessed float glass sheets over 10 mm thick stay in 7005 per chapter note (a); edge grinding constitutes 'worked' status.

7007.29.00.00Lower: 39.9% vs 43.8%

If over 15.2 cm in width

Wider safety glass strips, even edge-worked, classify under 7007 multiple-walled insulating units or safety glass.

7016.90.50.00Lower: 40% vs 43.8%

If framed or fitted with other materials

Adding frames or fittings changes from worked glass strips to glass paving blocks or similar articles.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify glass originates from headings 7003, 7004, or 7005 via supplier certificates to avoid reclassification

Measure width ≤15.2 cm, thickness >2 mm, and confirm all longitudinal edges are ground/smoothed per subheading specs

Avoid framing or fittings, as they shift to heading 7016; declare exact dimensions accurately
