7005.29 - Other:

This HTS category, 7005.29, encompasses float glass and surface ground or polished glass in sheets that are not otherwise worked. Crucially, these glass products are characterized by not being colored throughout the mass, opacified, flashed, or merely surface ground. This exclusion differentiates them from sibling categories that specifically detail such treatments.

The defining characteristic for classification under 7005.29 lies in its foundational properties as a transparent or translucent sheet of glass, which may possess surface modifications like grinding or polishing. The absence of integrated coloring or opaque treatments distinguishes it from categories that address those specific aesthetic or functional alterations performed during manufacturing.

Within this category, further subdivisions are made based on a key physical attribute: thickness. The subcategories distinguish between glass measuring less than 10 mm in thickness and those measuring 10 mm or more. This bifurcated approach allows for precise classification based on the dimensions of the glass sheet, reflecting potential differences in manufacturing processes, applications, and value.
