7004.90.40.00 - Measuring over 0.65 m2 in area

This HTS category, 7004.90.40.00, specifically classifies drawn or blown glass sheets that are not otherwise worked, and which are greater than 0.65 square meters in area. These sheets are characterized by their dimensions, exceeding this specified surface area, and can feature an absorbent, reflecting, or non-reflecting layer. The core material is glass, produced through either the drawing or blowing method, and the defining characteristic for inclusion here is the significant size of the sheet.

The critical distinction for this category lies in its "measuring over 0.65 m2 in area" qualifier. Its sibling category, 7004.90.30, covers identical types of drawn or blown glass sheets but are specifically those measuring *not over* 0.65 square meters in area. Therefore, the sole differentiating factor between these two immediate sibling classifications is the surface area of the glass sheet; anything larger falls into this category.

As this node represents a leaf category within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification ceases at this point based on the physical dimensions of the glass sheet. This means that any drawn or blown glass sheet, not otherwise worked and exceeding 0.65 square meters, regardless of its thickness (provided it falls within the broader scope of 7004.90, which implies it's in rectangular shape and measures over 3.5 mm in thickness), will be classified under 7004.90.40.00.
