7005.29.08 - Other

This HTS classification, 7005.29.08, encompasses "Other" 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, when it is not otherwise worked and is not specifically suited for use in liquid crystal displays. This category acts as a residual for glass sheets meeting the general criteria of Chapter 70, but excluding those with specialized applications for LCDs or other specific purposes. The key differentiating factor from its sibling category is the absence of suitability for liquid crystal display technology.

The distinction lies in the intended use and specific technical properties. While both fall under float glass, surface ground or polished glass, in sheets, and within specific thickness and area parameters, category 7005.29.04 is reserved for glass specifically engineered or processed for the demanding requirements of LCD screens. This HTS 7005.29.08 classification, therefore, captures other standard glass sheets that do not possess these specialized characteristics.

Within this broad category, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on area. Subcategories 7005.29.08.10 and 7005.29.08.50 distinguish between glass sheets measuring not over 0.26 m² and those measuring over 0.26 m² but not over 0.65 m². This detailed breakdown allows for more precise inventory management and duty assessment based on the size of the glass sheets being imported or exported.
