7001 00 10 — Cullet and other waste and scrap of glass (excl. glass in the form of powder, granules or flakes)

7001 Battle glass, scrap and other waste glass; glass in blocks

This heading covers: (A) Waste and scrap glass of all kinds resulting from the manufacture of glass (including glass spilled past the crucibles and then disposed of); and battle glass. Usually a characteristic feature of glass waste is their sharp edges. Glass (including "enamel" glass) in blocks (namely, in blocks of more or less regular shape), but not having a specific purpose. "Enameled" glass has increased fluidity and density compared to most conventional varieties of glass. It is usually opaque, but occasionally transparent; it can be colorless or painted in different colors. This glass is considered in this heading when it is in blocks (in pieces or plates). It is used for coloring or making opaque to other types of glass, for making jewelry by treating it with a soldering lamp, etc., for enameling pottery, etc. This heading also includes a block vitrite, which is a low melting point glass used for insulating contact terminals at the bases of electric incandescent lamps. It has a high content of manganese dioxide, which gives it a blackish color, so the inner details of the basement are hidden. Glass (including vitrite and enamel glass) in the form of powder, pellets or flakes is not included in this heading (heading 3207).

(c) fiber optic cables of heading 8544, electrical insulators (heading 8546) or fittings of insulating materials of heading 8547;

(d) front windshields, rear windows and other framed windows for vehicles of Chapters 86 to 88;

(e) front windshields, rear windows and other windows, whether or not framed, containing heating or other electrical or electronic devices for vehicles of Chapters 86 to 88;

(f) optical fibers, optically processed optical elements, subcutaneous injection syringes, artificial eyes, thermometers, barometers, hydrometers or other articles of Chapter 90;

(g) luminaires and lighting fixtures, light signs, light plates bearing a name or address or similar articles having an integrated light source or parts thereof of heading 9405;

2. For headings 7003, 7004 and 7005:

(a) the glass is not considered to be “treated” by whatever processes it undergoes prior to annealing;

(b) the cutting of the glass in its shape does not change its classification as sheet glass;

(c) the term “absorbing, reflective or non-reflective layer” means a microscopically thin coating with a metal or chemical compound (e.g., a metal oxide) that absorbs, for example, infrared radiation or improves the reflectivity of the glass while maintaining its degree of transparency or transmittance; or that prevents light from reflecting from the surface of the glass.

3. Articles falling within heading 7006 are also included where they have the character of finished articles.

4. For the purposes of heading 7019, the term “glass” means:

(a) mineral wool with a content of silica (SiO2) not less than 60 wt.%;

(b) mineral wool with a content of silica (SiO2) less than 60 wt.%, alkali metal oxide (K2O or Na2O) more than 5 wt.% or boron oxide (B2O3) more than 2 wt.%.

Other types of mineral wool are classified in heading 6806.

5. Throughout the Nomenclature, the term “glass” means fused quartz and other fused silica.

1. For the purposes of subheadings 7013 22, 7013 33, 7013 41 and 7013 91, the term “lead crystal” means only glass having a lead monoxide (PbO) content of at least 24 % by weight.
