Chapter 70: Glass and glassware

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 7011 when importing glass envelopes, such as bulbs and tubes, designed for electric lamps or light sources. For example, if you're shipping a batch of glass light bulbs without any fittings, this code applies directly to your products.

When deciding between subheadings, consider the intended use of the glass envelopes. HS-6 701110 is for those specifically made for electric lighting, while HS-6 701120 is designated for glass parts intended for cathode-ray tubes, like those found in older televisions or computer monitors.

If your product doesn’t fit into the first two categories, you may need HS-6 701190, which covers other types of glass envelopes not used for electric lighting or cathode-ray tubes. This could include specialized glass parts for different applications, so be clear about your product's end use.
