Overview
This HTS classification covers float glass and surface ground or polished glass that has been specifically manufactured for use in liquid crystal displays (LCDs). To qualify, the glass must not exceed 1.2 mm in thickness and its area must not be greater than 0.8 square meters. Crucially, these sheets of glass are further distinguished by possessing an absorbent, reflecting, or non-reflecting layer, making them suitable for the optical requirements of display technology.
This category is distinct from its sibling, HTS 7005.10.80.00, which is designated for "Other" nonwired glass with an absorbent, reflecting, or non-reflecting layer but not meeting the specific dimensions or intended use criteria outlined for LCDs. The key differentiator is the specialized application in liquid crystal displays coupled with the precise thickness and area limitations.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level hinges on the precise fulfillment of all listed conditions: being float glass or surface ground/polished, possessing an absorbent, reflecting, or non-reflecting layer, being suitable for liquid crystal displays, and adhering to the specified maximum thickness and area.
