7005.29.08.10 - Measuring not over 0.26 m2 in area

This HTS category, 7005.29.08.10, specifically covers sheets of float glass or surface ground or polished glass that are not otherwise worked and do not contain embedded wire. Crucially, these glass sheets measure not over 0.26 square meters in area. This includes glass intended for various applications where small-sized sheets are required, such as in picture frames, small decorative items, or specialized optical components where the size is a defining characteristic. The material itself is either float glass (produced by a process of floating molten glass on a bed of molten metal) or glass that has undergone grinding or polishing to achieve a smooth surface.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 7005.29.08.50, by the precise measurement of its area. While both are "other" nonwired glass measuring less than 10 mm in thickness and less than 0.65 m² in area, this subcategory is strictly limited to those sheets with an area measuring *not over* 0.26 m². The sibling category encompasses larger sheets, specifically those measuring *over* 0.26 m² but *not over* 0.65 m². This precise area measurement is the sole differentiator at this level.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node within the classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is determined solely by the physical characteristics of the glass sheet, namely that it is float glass or surface ground/polished glass, not otherwise worked, nonwired, less than 10 mm thick, less than 0.65 m² in area, and specifically not over 0.26 m² in area. Classification hinges on confirming all these criteria.
