Overview
This category, HTS Code 7005.29.04.50, specifically classifies sheets of float glass or surface ground or polished glass that meet precise dimensional criteria. The glass must measure over 0.26 square meters but not exceed 0.65 square meters in area. Additionally, these sheets are suitable for use in liquid crystal displays (LCDs). This suitability is a key determining factor, implying specific optical properties or flatness requirements inherent to LCD manufacturing.
This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling, 7005.29.04.10, by the upper limit of its area measurement. While both categories cover non-wired glass sheets suitable for LCDs and measuring less than 10 mm in thickness, 7005.29.04.10 applies to sheets measuring not over 0.26 square meters in area. Therefore, the critical differentiator for 7005.29.04.50 is that the glass sheet must fall within the larger area range of greater than 0.26 m² and up to and including 0.65 m².
As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subdivisions under this specific code. The classification is complete at this level, with the defining criteria being the material type (float glass or surface ground/polished glass), the absence of other working beyond layering, and the precise area dimensions combined with suitability for LCD applications.
