7004.90.25 - Measuring over 2 but not over 3.5 mm in thickness

This HTS category encompasses drawn glass and blown glass, presented in sheets and not otherwise worked, that specifically measure over 2 but not over 3.5 millimeters in thickness. This includes glass that may have been treated with an absorbent, reflecting, or non-reflecting layer, as long as no further working beyond this surface treatment has occurred. The core defining characteristic for this classification is the precise thickness range, distinguishing it from other sheet glass categories within 7004.

It's crucial to differentiate this subcategory from its siblings. Categories measuring not over 1.5 mm, over 1.5 but not over 2 mm, and over 3.5 mm in thickness represent distinct physical parameters. Therefore, glass sheets falling outside the 2 to 3.5 mm thickness range would be classified under those respective sibling codes, not this one. The absence of significant further working, such as cutting to shape or tempering, is also a key factor.

The subcategories within 7004.90.25 further refine the classification based on the area of the glass sheet. These subdivisions, measuring not over 0.26 m², over 0.26 but not over 0.58 m², and over 0.58 m², allow for a more granular identification of the glass sheets within the specified thickness range. This hierarchical structure ensures that the precise dimensions of the glass, both in thickness and area, are accounted for in customs declarations.
