What determines the tariff number?
- Form and processing state. Fused quartz is classified differently depending on its shape—spheres, rods, sticks, or tubes. The material's current processing state (unworked vs. processed) significantly affects the correct HS code.
- Fused quartz vs. other glass. Tubes made from fused quartz or fused silicon dioxide receive a different HS code than tubes from other glass types. The chemical composition is a primary determinant of tariff classification.
- Thermal expansion coefficient. Glass tubes with a low linear thermal expansion coefficient are classified separately from standard glass. This physical property is a key distinction in determining the correct customs tariff number.
