7006.00.10.00 - Strips not over 15.2 cm in width, measuring over 2 mm in thickness, and having all longitudinal edges ground or otherwise smoothed or processed 🖩

This HTS classification, 7006.00.10.00, specifically covers processed glass that originated from flat glass falling under HTS codes 7003, 7004, or 7005. The key defining characteristics for inclusion here are that the glass is manufactured into strips with a width not exceeding 15.2 cm, a thickness greater than 2 mm, and importantly, possesses longitudinal edges that have undergone grinding, smoothing, or other processing. This processing indicates a level of finishing beyond mere cutting, ensuring a more refined edge suitable for specific applications.

This particular subcategory distinguishes itself from its sibling category, ": Other:", by its precise dimensional and edge-working specifications. While the ": Other:" category would encompass all other processed glass from headings 7003, 7004, or 7005 that does not meet the stringent criteria of this specific code, 7006.00.10.00 isolates those strips that are narrow, relatively thick, and have finished edges. This detailed differentiation is crucial for accurate tariff application, ensuring that goods with specific manufacturing characteristics are correctly identified and taxed.

As a leaf node, 7006.00.10.00 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification within this code is on rigorously applying the outlined physical parameters: the strip width, the thickness, and the state of the longitudinal edges. Examples of goods that would fall under this classification might include specialized glass strips for window glazing in particular frames, decorative glass elements for mosaics, or precision glass components for optical instruments where uniform width and smooth edges are paramount.
