7003.30.00.00 - Profiles

HTS Code 7003.30.00.00 specifically classifies profiles of cast glass and rolled glass. This category encompasses glass that has been formed into elongated shapes with a consistent cross-section, such as bars, rods, or shaped sections, created through the processes of casting or rolling. These profiles may feature applied layers, including absorbent, reflecting, or non-reflecting coatings, but must not have undergone further working beyond their initial formation into profile shapes.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 7003.20.00.00, which covers "wired sheets." The key differentiating factor is the presence of wire mesh embedded within the glass. While both fall under the broader heading of cast or rolled glass in sheets or profiles, the inclusion of wire in 7003.20.00.00 is the decisive characteristic for that classification.

As HTS Code 7003.30.00.00 represents a leaf node in the tariff schedule, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under this code hinges on the material being cast or rolled glass, presented in a profile form, and the absence of further working or specific inclusions like wire mesh. Examples might include glass sections used for architectural framing or decorative elements that maintain a continuous profile.
