7006.00.40 - Other

This HTS category, 7006.00.40, encompasses glass that originates from the processes described in headings 7003, 7004, or 7005. These glasses have undergone further working beyond their initial formation, including processes such as bending, edge-working, engraving, drilling, enameling, or other forms of modification. Crucially, these worked glasses are not yet framed or fitted with other materials.

This classification is distinct from its sibling, 7006.00.20.00, which specifically covers glass that is drawn or blown and does not contain wire netting, nor is it surface ground or polished. The "Other" designation here signifies a broad range of worked glass that falls outside the specific exclusions of the sibling category, indicating a more advanced state of processing.

The subcategories within 7006.00.40 provide further refinement based on specific applied treatments. 7006.00.40.10 addresses glass that has been enhanced with an absorbent or reflecting layer, indicating specialized functional properties. The remaining subcategory, 7006.00.40.50, captures all other worked glass falling under this heading that does not possess such specialized layers, serving as a residual category for various other forms of processed glass.
