Heading 7011 — Glass envelopes (including bulbs and tubes), open and glass parts thereof, without fittings, for electric lamps and light sources, cathode-ray tubes or the like
Chapter 70: Glass and glassware
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 701110 when importing or exporting glass envelopes, such as bulbs and tubes, specifically designed for electric lamps and light sources. For instance, if you're shipping clear glass bulbs intended for incandescent lamps, this code applies.
This code covers open glass envelopes without fittings, which distinguishes it from HS-6 701120, where glass envelopes are fitted with bases or other components. If your product has any fittings, you’ll need to look at the latter code.
When dealing with glass parts for electric lighting, ensure that your products are indeed open and without fittings. Items like unassembled glass tubes for fluorescent lights also fall under this classification.
Understanding the nuances between these codes is crucial for accurate customs declarations. Misclassifying could lead to delays or additional duties, so always verify the product specifications before shipping.
