7005.29.14.50 - Measuring 5 mm or more but less than 10 mm in thickness

This HTS category, 7005.29.14.50, specifically classifies float glass and surface ground or polished glass in sheets that measure 5 mm or more but less than 10 mm in thickness. These are further characterized by their suitability for use in liquid crystal displays and an area not exceeding 0.8 square meters. The glass is not otherwise worked beyond the surface treatment, and while it may possess absorbent, reflecting, or non-reflecting layers, these do not alter its fundamental nature as a sheet of glass.

To distinguish this category from its sibling, 7005.29.14.10, it is crucial to note the thickness criteria. While both fall under "Measuring less than 10 mm in thickness" and "Measuring over 0.65 m2 in area," category 7005.29.14.10 encompasses glass measuring less than 5 mm in thickness. Therefore, this category is exclusively for glass that meets or exceeds the 5 mm threshold but remains below the 10 mm limit.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. This means that any glass meeting all the specified criteria—float glass or surface ground/polished, in sheets, not otherwise worked, possessing specialized layers, measuring 5 mm or more but less than 10 mm in thickness, suitable for liquid crystal displays, and not exceeding 0.8 m2 in area—will be classified directly under 7005.29.14.50. The classification relies on the precise physical dimensions and intended application within the electronics sector.
