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
Analysis
Heading 7011 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers 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. It divides into 3 six-digit subheadings and 6 eight-digit tariff lines, with 8 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
The spread of 6.6 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 6.6%, applies to 7011.90.00 (glass envelopes (including bulbs and tubes)…).
2 of its 6 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (33%) and 4 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 6.6%. The median line pays 4.9%.
The largest subheadings are 7011.20 (for cathode-ray tubes, 3 lines), 7011.10 (for electric lighting, 2 lines) and 7011.90 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Other Pressed and Blown Glass and Glassware Manufacturing (327212). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
