7006.00 - Glass of heading 7003, 7004 or 7005, bent, edge-worked, engraved, drilled, enameled or otherwise worked, but not framed or fitted with other materials:

This HTS category, 7006.00, encompasses glass that originates from headings 7003, 7004, or 7005, but has undergone further specific working processes beyond its initial fabrication. These processes include bending, edge-working, engraving, drilling, enameling, or other similar modifications. Crucially, items classified here are *not* framed or assembled with other materials. This ensures that only the worked glass itself falls under this provision, before it is incorporated into more complex articles.

Distinguishing this category from its direct siblings within Chapter 70 involves understanding the degree of manufacturing or assembly. While other categories within Chapter 70 might cover basic glass sheets (e.g., from 7003-7005), mirrors, or glass in the mass, 7006.00 specifically targets glass that has had its physical form or surface intentionally altered. It is distinct from framed or fitted glass articles, which would be classified under different provisions based on the framing material or the overall function of the completed item.

The subcategories under 7006.00.00 provide further refinement based on specific dimensional and edge-finishing characteristics. For instance, 7006.00.10.00 details strips with precise width and thickness, and a smoothed or processed longitudinal edge. The subsequent "Other" designation captures all worked glass from the parent headings that does not meet these specific criteria, allowing for a comprehensive classification of a wide array of processed glass products.
