7004.20.50.00 - Other

This category, HTS 7004.20.50.00, encompasses drawn or blown glass sheets that are colored throughout the mass, opacified, flashed, or possess an absorbent, reflecting, or non-reflecting layer, and have not undergone any further processing beyond these initial treatments. The "Other" designation signifies that these sheets do not fit into more specific subcategories based on their shape or primary function at this level of detail.

Distinct from its sibling category, 7004.20.20, which specifically covers such glass sheets in a rectangular shape, this classification applies to all other forms and cuts of treated glass sheets that meet the general criteria of being colored, opacified, flashed, or coated. The key differentiator lies in the absence of a defined rectangular geometry as the primary classification characteristic.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 7004.20.50.00 hinges on the glass sheet meeting the stipulated treatments (body tinted, opacified, flashed, or coated) and not falling under the more precisely defined rectangular category at the same level. The practical application of this code requires careful examination of the glass's properties and ensuring no further working beyond the initial surface or mass treatments has occurred.
