Red Railroad Signal Glass Lens
A colored glass disc used in railroad signaling lanterns to indicate stop or danger positions. It falls under HTS 7014.00.50.00 as signaling glassware that is not optically worked, meaning it lacks ground or polished surfaces for precision optics. This raw colored glass provides visual signaling without advanced optical processing.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If made of lead crystal with >=24% PbO
Lead crystal glassware, even for signaling, shifts to specific lead crystal subheadings in 7013 regardless of optical working.
If imported as float glass sheets cut to rough shape before annealing
Unworked float glass sheets remain in 7005 per chapter notes; cutting to shape doesn't qualify as worked.
If assembled into a complete signaling lantern or fixture
Paving blocks, leaded lights, and similar glass articles including signaling assemblies fall under 7016.
