7005.29.14.10 - Measuring less than 5 mm in thickness

This HTS category specifically classifies float glass and surface ground or polished glass in sheets that are less than 5 mm in thickness. This includes glass that may have undergone treatments such as the application of an absorbent, reflecting, or non-reflecting layer, provided it is not otherwise worked beyond these surface modifications. The key defining physical characteristic for inclusion in this subcategory is its thinness, falling below the 5 mm threshold.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 7005.29.14.50, which covers glass sheets measuring 5 mm or more but less than 10 mm in thickness. Therefore, any glass sheet that is 5 mm thick or greater, even if still under 10 mm, would be classified in the sibling category, not here. The classification hinges on this precise measurement of thickness, with a clear demarcation at the 5 mm point.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within this specific HTS code. Consequently, the classification is finalized based on the preceding criteria, particularly the thickness being less than 5 mm, along with its suitability for use in liquid crystal displays and its specific area of not over 0.8 square meters, as defined by its parent category. This level of detail ensures precise identification of highly specialized glass products within the broader category of float glass.
