7003.20.00.00 - Wired sheets

This HTS category, 7003.20.00.00, specifically covers cast glass and rolled glass that are manufactured into sheets and incorporate wiring. This wiring is typically embedded within the glass structure during the manufacturing process. Such products are distinct from other forms of glass sheets in Chapter 70 due to this integral wiring component, which can serve various functions such as reinforcement or for electrical conductivity.

When classifying under this heading, it is crucial to differentiate these wired sheets from their sibling categories. Non-wired sheets of cast or rolled glass, falling under the sibling category of "Nonwired sheets," lack this embedded electrical conductor. Similarly, "Profiles," another sibling category, refers to glass formed into shapes other than flat sheets. Therefore, the presence of integrated wiring is the defining characteristic that directs classification to 7003.20.00.00.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to explore beneath 7003.20.00.00. Classification therefore concludes at this level, based on the physical characteristics of the glass being in sheet form, manufactured by casting or rolling, and possessing embedded wiring. Examples might include wired safety glass or specialized glass for electronic applications where the wiring is an inherent part of the glass product.
