7001.00.51.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 7001.00.51.00, specifically encompasses "Other" forms of cullet and waste or scrap of glass, with the explicit exclusion of glass derived from cathode-ray tubes or other activated glass classified under heading 8549. This designation covers a broad spectrum of discarded or residual glass materials that do not fall into the "glass in the mass" category. Examples include finely crushed glass, powdered glass not intended for immediate remelting, or glass waste with specific impurities that prevent its classification as raw material for general glass production.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, "Glass in the mass." While both deal with glass in a non-finished state, "glass in the mass" generally refers to molten glass or unformed glass material that is ready or intended for immediate shaping into specific products. Category 7001.00.51.00, conversely, addresses waste or scrap that may require further processing beyond simple remelting and forming, or material that, due to its condition or composition, is classified separately as waste.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 7001.00.51.00. The classification hinges on identifying glass waste or scrap that does not fit the definition of "glass in the mass" and is not otherwise excluded (e.g., activated glass). The key classification criteria will revolve around the physical form of the glass waste, the presence of impurities, and whether it is considered a raw material for remelting and forming or a distinct category of discarded material.
