Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If worked but without absorbent/reflecting layer
Residual 'other' category for non-coated worked glass.
If made into framed mirrors
Mirrors with reflecting layer fitted in frame go to heading 7009.
If further fabricated into decorative articles
Glassware for decoration/table use shifts to 7013.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit coating composition analysis (e.g
• metal oxide specs) to confirm 'absorbent layer' per chapter note
• Ensure invoices specify 'engraved/etched' working and base from 7003-7005
• Avoid misdeclaration as labware (7017)—emphasize architectural/display use
