7005.29.04 - Suitable for use in liquid crystal displays

This HTS classification, 7005.29.04, specifically covers other non-wired float glass and surface ground or polished glass in sheets, measuring less than 10 mm in thickness and not over 0.65 square meters in area. The crucial distinguishing factor for this subcategory is its suitability for use in liquid crystal displays (LCDs). This implies a high degree of optical quality and precise dimensions, often requiring specialized manufacturing processes to achieve the necessary flatness and clarity for display applications.

The sibling category, 7005.29.08, is for "Other" glass within the same broader classification, meaning it encompasses glass that meets the general criteria of float glass, surface ground or polished, in sheets, less than 10mm thick, and not over 0.65 m² in area, but *without* the specific functional suitability for liquid crystal displays. Therefore, the inclusion of "Suitable for use in liquid crystal displays" in the description for 7005.29.04 is the primary differentiator.

This category is further subdivided to distinguish between glass sheets based on their precise area. Subcategory 7005.29.04.10 covers those measuring not over 0.26 m² in area, while 7005.29.04.50 encompasses sheets measuring over 0.26 m² but not over 0.65 m² in area. This granular breakdown allows for more precise tariff application based on the size of the glass sheets designated for LCD manufacturing.
