(b) cutting to shape does not affect the classification of glass in sheets;
(c) the expression “absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer” means a microscopically thin coating of metal or of a chemical compound (for example, metal oxide) which absorbs, for example, infra-red light or improves the reflecting qualities of the glass while still allowing it to retain a degree of transparency or translucency; or which prevents light from being reflected on the surface of the glass.
3.- The products referred to in heading 70.06 remain classified in that heading whether or not they have the character of articles.
4.- For the purposes of heading 70.19, the expression “glass wool” means :
