Products classified under HTS 7014.00.30.00
Glass Camera Lens Element
A single convex-concave glass lens element used in consumer digital camera assemblies, not optically worked beyond basic shaping. It falls under HTS 7014.00.30.00 as an optical element of glass that is a lens not meeting the criteria for heading 7015 due to lacking precision optical processing. Signaling and other non-optically worked glass lenses are classified here.
Glass Projector Lens Blank
Rough-shaped glass blank for overhead projector lenses, annealed but not optically figured. Classified in 7014.00.30.00 as a non-optically worked lens for signaling or optical use, distinct from precision optics in 7015. It serves as a base for further lens fabrication.
Optical Glass Filter Substrate
Flat glass disc substrate for color filters in imaging devices, cut to shape but without optical coatings or working. It qualifies for 7014.00.30.00 as a non-optically worked glass filter element for optical applications. Chapter notes confirm basic cutting does not change classification.
Signaling Glass Lens for Traffic Lights
Molded glass lens for traffic signal fixtures, not optically worked, providing diffusion without precision. Falls under 7014.00.30.00 for signaling glassware lenses not in 7015. Ideal for basic light control in transportation signaling.
Glass Telescope Lens Blank
Cylindrical glass blank cut for amateur telescope objective lenses, annealed post-forming without optical figuring. HTS 7014.00.30.00 covers such non-worked optical elements for signaling or basic optics. Not suitable for precision instruments.
LED Indicator Glass Filter
Small glass filter disc for LED panel indicators in machinery, shaped but not worked optically. Under 7014.00.30.00 for filters as signaling optical elements. Enhances light color without advanced processing.
Glass Microscope Condenser Lens
Basic molded glass lens for microscope light condensers, pre-anneal shaped without working. 7014.00.30.00 applies to such non-precision optical glass elements. Used in educational microscopes.
Fused Silica Lens Preform
Fused silica preform shaped for UV lenses, not optically worked. Included as 'glass' per tariff note, under 7014.00.30.00 for lens parts. High purity for optical signaling.
Glass Eyeglass Lens Blank
Semi-finished glass blank for prescription eyeglass lenses, cut but not surfaced optically. 7014.00.30.00 for non-worked lens elements, prior to grinding. Common in budget eyewear production.
Colored Glass Filter for Stage Lighting
Hand-cut colored glass filter sheets for theatrical spotlights, functioning as diffusion filters. Non-optically worked, under 7014.00.30.00 for signaling/optical filters. Provides color correction.
