Products classified under HTS 8464.90.01.10
CNC Glass Edging Machine
A computer numerically controlled machine designed for precision edging and beveling of flat glass sheets used in windows, mirrors, and architectural panels. It falls under HTS 8464.90.0110 as a machine tool for cold working glass by grinding and polishing edges without thermal processes. This equipment processes glass through mechanical abrasion to achieve smooth, safe finishes.
Automatic Glass Beveling Machine
Automated equipment that creates beveled edges on glass plates for decorative mirrors, tabletops, and furniture components through grinding wheels operating at ambient temperatures. Classified under HTS 8464.90.0110 for cold working glass via mechanical shaping and polishing. It ensures precise angles and optical clarity without heating the glass.
Glass Drilling Machine
Precision machine using diamond-tipped drills to create holes in glass sheets for hardware installation in shower doors, tabletops, and frameless balustrades. HTS 8464.90.0110 covers this cold working process involving mechanical penetration and edge finishing of glass. It maintains glass integrity without thermal stress.
Flat Glass Washing and Drying Machine
Industrial conveyor system that cleans, rinses, and air-dries flat glass prior to further processing or coating, using mechanical brushes and high-pressure water jets at room temperature. While primarily cleaning, its mechanical surface preparation qualifies under HTS 8464.90.0110 for glass working machines. Essential for preparing glass surfaces for lamination or tempering.
Glass Corner Grinding Machine
Specialized machine for pencil edging and corner notching of glass rectangles used in picture frames and display cases, employing rotating grinding wheels for cold mechanical finishing. HTS 8464.90.0110 specifically includes such glass shape-correcting equipment. Achieves safety-compliant rounded edges through abrasion.
Straight-Line Glass Polishing Machine
Multi-station machine that sequentially polishes straight edges of glass slabs using diamond-impregnated felt wheels and cerium oxide slurry in a cold process. Classified in HTS 8464.90.0110 for glass working through mechanical polishing to mirror finish. Used for high-end shower enclosures and tabletops.
Glass Shape Grinding Machine
CNC-controlled machine for grinding custom contoured shapes into glass for furniture inserts, signage, and decorative panels using template-guided abrasive tools. Falls under HTS 8464.90.0110 as cold working equipment for complex glass profiles. Ensures precise replication of design files through mechanical material removal.
Bottle Glass Neck Polishing Machine
