Mineral wools which do not comply with the above specifications fall in heading 68.06. 5.- Throughout the Nomenclature, the expression “glass” includes fused quartz and other fused silica. Subheading Note. 1.- For the purposes of subheadings 7013.22, 7013.33, 7013.41 and 7013.91, the expression “lead crystal” means only glass having a minimum lead monoxide (PbO) content by weight of 24 %.
