Last updated: September 2026 dataCullet and other glass waste and scrap — excluding cathode-ray tube glass covered by heading 8549 — along with unformed glass in the mass (including fused quartz and other fused silica) are the raw material inputs that feed glass recycling and specialty glass manufacturing. The US schedule separates fused quartz and fused silica glass in the mass (7001001000) from other glass in the mass (7001002000) and cullet/scrap (7001005100), reflecting the premium pricing and distinct industrial uses of high-purity silica feedstocks. Canada is the leading supplier, consistent with its role as a major recycling-stream trading partner, with Japan and Germany contributing specialty glass-in-the-mass materials.

CRT glass and other activated glass are excluded from heading 7001 because they contain heavy metals (notably lead) and are governed by separate environmental and waste-management considerations. Such glass is classified under heading 8549, which covers electrical and electronic waste. Importers of mixed glass scrap streams should segregate CRT glass and declare it under the correct heading to avoid misclassification and potential EPA-related compliance issues.
Fused quartz and fused silica are ultra-high-purity amorphous silica materials with exceptional thermal stability, UV transparency, and low thermal expansion — properties that make them indispensable in semiconductor fabrication, optical fiber preforms, and laboratory equipment. Their dedicated tariff line (7001001000) reflects both their distinct specification requirements and their higher unit value compared to commodity glass in the mass (7001002000).
