7003.12.00.00 - Colored throughout the mass (body tinted), opacified, flashed or having an absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer 🖩

This HTS classification, 7003.12.00.00, specifically covers cast or rolled glass sheets that are nonwired and have been treated to achieve specific visual or functional properties. This includes glass that is colored throughout its entire mass (body tinted), opacified to reduce light transmission, flashed with a distinct layer, or has had a layer applied to either absorb, reflect, or prevent reflection of light. These treatments are applied during the manufacturing process, and the glass remains in sheet form without further working beyond these surface or bulk modifications.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 7003.19.00.00, which covers "Other" nonwired, cast, or rolled glass sheets. While this category focuses on sheets with deliberate coloring, opacification, flashing, or specialized reflective/absorbent layers, the "Other" category would encompass nonwired sheets that do not possess these specific attributes, even if they are cast or rolled.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the primary focus for classification within 7003.12.00.00 is accurately identifying whether the nonwired, cast or rolled glass sheet possesses any of the stipulated treatments: being colored throughout the mass, opacified, flashed, or having an absorbent, reflecting, or non-reflecting layer. The physical form as a sheet and the absence of wiring are prerequisites for inclusion at this level.
