Glass Prisms for Projectors from China
These are unpolished glass prisms used in projectors to split and direct light beams. They fall under HTS 7014.00.20.00 as optical elements of glass that are not optically worked, meaning they have not undergone grinding or polishing to alter their optical properties. Produced from standard soda-lime glass sheets cut to shape.

Import Tips
• Verify the glass has no optical working like polishing; declare as 'other optical elements' if not signaling glassware
• Provide material composition certificates to avoid misclassification as worked glass under 7007
• Check for any absorbent or reflecting layers per chapter notes
