These articles may be e.g., of ordinary glass, lead crystal, glass having a low coefficient of expansion (e.g., borosilicate glass) or of glass ceramics (the latter two in particular, for kitchen glassware). They may also be colourless, coloured or of flashed glass, and may be cut, frosted, etched or engraved, or otherwise decorated, or of plated glass (for example, certain trays fitted with handles). Table-centres consisting of a simple mirror are, however, excluded (see Explanatory Note to heading 70.09).
On the other hand, this heading covers decorative articles which are in the form of mirrors, but cannot be used as mirrors due to the presence of printed illustrations; otherwise they are classified in heading 70.09.
Articles of glass combined with other materials (base metal, wood, etc.), are classified in this heading only if the glass gives the whole the character of glass articles. Precious metal or metal clad with precious metal may be present, as minor trimmings only; articles in which such metals constitute more than mere trimmings are excluded (heading 71.14). The heading also excludes : (a) Glass mirrors, whether or not framed (heading 70.09). (b) Bottles, flasks, jars and pots of a kind commonly used for the commercial conveyance or packing of goods, and preserving jars (heading 70.10). (c) Leaded lights and the like (heading 70.16). (d) Articles of heading 70.18 of a kind suitable for interior decoration (e.g., imitation flowers and foliage of glass beads and ornaments of lamp-worked glass). (e) Clock cases (heading 91.12). (f) Lamps and lighting fittings and parts thereof of heading 94.05. (g) Scent sprays and similar toilet sprays (heading 96.16). (h) Vacuum flasks and other vacuum vessels of heading 96.17.
