HEADING

CHAPTER

70Glass and glassware

In plain English

This category includes sheets and profiles of cast or rolled glass that have not been further processed, regardless of whether they feature absorbing, reflecting, or non-reflecting layers. The items are separated into groups based on specific characteristics such as coloration, opacity, the presence of wire mesh, or their shape. One group covers non-wired sheets that are colored throughout, opaque, flashed, or have special layers, while another includes non-wired sheets without those features. A third group consists of wired sheets with or without special layers, and a final group is reserved for profiles that remain unworked.
