Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If unworked float glass ≤10 mm thick
Base unworked float glass remains in 7005; grinding edges qualifies as 'worked' for 7006.
If made into lead crystal tableware components
≥24% PbO content shifts to lead crystal glassware under subheading note, even as strips.
If for radiation shielding use
Glass strips designed for dosimetry or shielding classify as other special glass articles.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include chemical composition cert for fused silica to confirm 'glass' status throughout schedule
• Document annealing history to prove edge work post-annealing per chapter note (a)
