Heading 7005

Float glass and surface ground or polished glass, in sheets, whether or not having an absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer, but not otherwise worked

15 declarable lines

Heading 7005 covers float glass and surface ground or polished glass in sheets, whether or not it has an absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer, but not otherwise worked. The heading splits first by whether the glass is nonwired with a coated layer (7005.10), other nonwired glass (7005.21 and 7005.29), or wired glass (7005.30). The nonwired lines then split by color or body tinting, thickness, sheet area, and whether the glass is suitable for use in liquid crystal displays.

Thickness in millimeters, since lines split at less than 5 mm, 5 mm or more but less than 10 mm, and 10 mm or more.
Sheet area in square meters, and whether the glass is suitable for use in liquid crystal displays, which changes the rate on thin glass.
