RE: The tariff classification of worked flat glass
Dear Mr. Parisi:
In your letter, dated August 7, 2013, on behalf of Acoustic Ceiling Products, you requested a tariff classification ruling regarding a glass tile – Style A43-62.
A sample was submitted with your ruling request. The sample was sent to our U.S. Customs and Border Protection Laboratory for analysis. Our laboratory has now completed its analysis.
The product is a glass tile measuring three inches by six inches. Although the item has a red appearance, our laboratory has determined that it has not been colored throughout its mass. The color appears to have been applied to the surface of the glass.
Our laboratory has determined that the product does not consist of pressed or molded glass.
According to our laboratory, the surface and the edges of the glass tile have been smoothed.
The applicable subheading for the glass tile - Style A43-62 - will be 7006.00.4000, Harmonized
