Analysis
HTS 7001.00.51 covers cullet and other waste and scrap of glass, excluding glass from cathode-ray tubes or other activated glass of heading 8549; glass in the mass: other under heading 7001 (cullet and other waste and scrap of glass, excluding glass from cathode-ray tubes or…).
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 3%. Compared with 7001.00.20 (glass in the mass: other), which pays 3%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 3 percentage points.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 28% of the 192 tariff lines in chapter 70, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
The other lines in the same group are 7001.00.10 (of fused quartz or other fused silica, duty-free) and 7001.00.20 (glass in the mass: other, 3%).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 327215 (Glass Product Manufacturing Made of Purchased Glass), an industry of 955 US establishments employing 50,436 people. That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
