Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 701190 when importing or exporting open glass envelopes, tubes, or parts not designed for electric lighting or cathode-ray tubes. For instance, this code applies to glass tubes used in scientific instruments or decorative applications.
This code is distinct from HS-6 701191, which covers similar glass products specifically designed for electric lamps. If your product is intended for lighting, you should classify it under that code instead.
The 701190 line encompasses a variety of glass items, including open glass tubes for laboratory use, decorative glass vases, or even glass parts for non-lighting electronic devices. These items must not have any fittings or be designed for electric lighting.
When considering classification, ensure that your product's intended use aligns with this HS-6. If the glass is fitted for lighting or cathode-ray applications, it would fall under a different category.
