2 70 - i Chapter 70 GLASS AND GLASSWARE Notes. 1. This Chapter does not cover: (a) Goods of heading (for example, vitrifiable enamels and glazes, glass frit, other glass in the form of powder, granules or flakes); (b) Articles of Chapter 71 (for example, imitation jewellery); (c) Optical fibre cables of heading 85.44, electrical insulators (heading 85.46) or fittings of insulating material of heading 85.47; (d) Optical fibres, optically worked optical elements, hypodermic syringes, artificial eyes, thermometers, barometers, hydrometers or other articles of Chapter 90; (e) Lamps or lighting fittings, illuminated signs, illuminated name-plates or the like, having a permanently fixed light source, or parts thereof of heading 94.05; (f) Toys, games, sports requisites, Christmas tree ornaments or other articles of Chapter 95 (excluding glass eyes without mechanisms for dolls or for other articles of Chapter 95); or (g) Buttons, fitted vacuum flasks, scent or similar sprays or other articles of Chapter For the purpose of headings 70.03, and 70.05: (a) glass is not regarded as "worked" by reason of any process it has undergone before annealing; (b) cutting to shape does not affect the classification of glass in sheets; (c) the expression "absorbent or reflecting or non-reflecting layer" means a microscopically thin coating of metal or of a chemical compound (for example, metal oxide) which absorbs, for example, infra-red light or improves the reflecting qualities of the glass while still allowing it to retain a degree of transparency or translucency; or which prevents light from being reflected on the surface of the glass. 3. The products referred to in heading remain classified in that heading whether or not they have the character of articles. 4. For the purpose of heading 70.19, 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 2 O or Na 2 O) content exceeding 5% by weight or a boric oxide (B 2 O 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 purpose of subheadings , , and , the expression "lead crystal" means only glass having a minimum lead monoxide (PbO) content by weight of 24%.
