7005.29.18.50 - Measuring 5 mm or more but less than 10 mm in thickness

This HTS category, 7005.29.18.50, specifically covers float glass and surface ground or polished glass in sheets that measure 5 mm or more but less than 10 mm in thickness. These sheets, whether or not they possess an absorbent, reflecting, or non-reflecting layer, are classified here as long as they are not otherwise worked beyond surface finishing. The key defining physical characteristic for inclusion in this specific subcategory is its precise thickness range.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7005.29.18.10, is crucial. The sibling category encompasses glass sheets measuring less than 5 mm in thickness. Therefore, while both fall under "Other" glass measuring less than 10 mm and over 0.65 m² in area, the critical differentiator is the lower bound of the thickness measurement: 5 mm for this category versus less than 5 mm for its sibling.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification is determined solely by the glass being float or surface ground/polished, in sheets, not otherwise worked, measuring less than 10 mm in thickness, over 0.65 m² in area, and specifically falling within the 5 mm to less than 10 mm thickness range. Examples would include panes of tempered or laminated safety glass within this thickness range, or standard float glass sheets prepared for glazing applications where this specific thickness is required.
