7004.90.30 - Measuring not over 0.65 m2 in area

This HTS category, 7004.90.30, encompasses drawn or blown glass sheets that have been cut or shaped to measure not over 0.65 square meters in area. These glass sheets, while potentially possessing an absorbent, reflecting, or non-reflecting layer, are not otherwise worked beyond their basic shape and measurement. The classification is specific to glass that is not tempered, laminated, or significantly processed.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7004.90.40.00, is the crucial criterion of surface area. While both fall under "Other glass" in rectangular form and exceeding 3.5 mm in thickness, this classification is for sheets measuring 0.65 square meters or less. The sibling category covers sheets exceeding this area.

Within this classification, further subdivision exists to refine the measurement. Subcategories exist for glass measuring not over 0.26 m2 in area, and specifically for those measuring over 0.26 but not over 0.65 m2 in area. These detailed distinctions allow for precise tariff application based on the exact dimensions of the glass sheets.
