General notes to the chapter
GLASS AND GLASSWARE
General
The term ‘optical glass’ covers various types of special glass used in manufacturing optical instruments, especially for use, for example, in photography, astronomy, microscopy, navigation, weapons systems (telescopic sights etc.), laboratory equipment and for making certain types of ophthalmic lenses to correct defects of vision. There is a wide variety of optical glass but their usual common feature is their extreme transparancy and clarity, although they are sometimes tinted so that they absorb certain frequencies of light to a small degree. They are perfectly homogenous, i.e. normally without bubbles or unevenness, and have refractive indices and scattering properties unusual in other types of glass.
Sheets of glass set in frames of wood, metal, etc., are considered to have lost the essential character of glass and fall in various headings, for example:
1. for framing pictures (headings 4414 00, 8306, etc.);
2. for machinery or vehicles (section XVI or XVII);
3. for doors (excluding glass shower doors of heading 7020), windows of buildings, etc. (headings 4418, 7610, etc.).
