1 CHAPTER 70 GLASS AND GLASSWARE Notes 1. This chapter does not cover: (a) goods heading 3207 (for example, vitrifiable enamels and glazes, glass frit, other glass in the form powder, granules or flakes); (b) articles Chapter 71 (for example, imitation jewellery); (c) optical fibre cables heading 8544, electrical insulators (heading 8546) or fittings insulating material heading 8547; (d) optical fibres, optically worked optical elements, hypodermic syringes, artificial eyes, thermometers, barometers, hydrometers or other articles Chapter 90; (e) lamps or lighting fittings, illuminated signs, illuminated nameplates or the like, having a permanently fixed light source, o r parts there heading 9405; (f) toys, games, sports requisites, Christmas tree ornaments or other articles Chapter 95 (excluding glass eyes without mechanisms for dolls or for other articles Chapter 95); or (g) buttons, fitted vacuum flasks, scent or similar sprays or other articles Chapter For the purposes headings 7003, 7004 and 7005: (a) glass is not regarded as worked by reason any process it has undergone before annealing; (b) cutting to shape does not affect the classification glass in sheets; (c) the expression absorbent,reflecting or non-reflecting layer means a microscopically thin coating metal or a chemical compound (for example, metal oxide) which absorbs, for example, infra-red light or improves the reflecting qualities the glass while still allowing it to retain a degree transparency or translucency; or which prevents light from being reflected on the surface the glass. 3. The products referred to in heading 7006 remain classified in that heading, whether or not they have the character articles. 4. For the purposes heading 7019, the expression glass wool means: (a) mineral wools with a silica (SiO 2) content not less than 60 % by weight; (b) mineral wools with a silica (SiO 2) content less than 60 % but with an alkaline oxide (K 2O or Na 2O) content exceeding 5 % by weight or a boric oxide (B 2O 3) content exceeding 2 % by weight. Mineral wools which do not comply with the above specifications fall in heading Throughout the nomenclature, the expression glass includes fused quartz and other fused silica. Subheading note 1. For the purposes subheadings , , and , the expression lead crystal means only glass having a minimum lead monoxide (PbO) content by weight 24 %. 1
