The first two digits of the HS code "70" represent glass and glassware.
Specifically, this chapter includes:
- Various types of glass: such as flat glass, glass fiber, glass tubes, glass beads, etc.
- Glass products: such as glass containers (bottles, jars, cups, etc.), glassware, glass fiber products, optical glass components, automotive glass, etc.
The classification is mainly based on material characteristics and usage:
- Material characteristics: Glass is an amorphous solid with properties such as transparency, hardness, brittleness, and corrosion resistance.
- Usage: Glass products are widely used in construction, packaging, optics, medical, transportation, and other fields.
Therefore, any product with glass as the main component and possessing the characteristics of glass is usually classified under the HS code "70".
If you can provide a more specific HS code (e.g., 7001, 7002, etc.), I can provide a more detailed classification explanation.
The first four digits explanation: 7011: Glass shells (including bulbs and tubes), open glass shells, and glass parts used for lamps and light sources, cathode ray tubes, etc., without accessories.
6-digit explanation: HS code: 7011.10
Classification: Glass shells (including bulbs and tubes), open ones, and glass parts used for lamps and light sources, cathode ray tubes, or similar purposes, without accessories: --> For electric lighting: --> Others
Meaning: This code covers open glass shells (including bulbs and tubes) and parts used for lamps and light sources, cathode ray tubes, etc., but does not include products with accessories. Specifically, it refers to "others" types of glass shells and parts used for electric lighting.
8-10 digit explanation: hscode: 7011101000 Classification: Glass bulbs (including bulb bases and tubes), open ones, and glass parts without connectors, used for lamps and light sources, cathode ray tubes, etc.: --> For electric lighting: --> Incandescent bulbs Explanation: This HS code applies to incandescent bulbs used for electric lighting, which belong to glass bulbs (including bulb bases and tubes), open ones, and glass parts without connectors.
Examples of products that may fall under this HS code: - Incandescent light bulbs - Glass lamp bases - Glass parts for light sources without connectors - Glass components for cathode ray tubes - Open glass tubes used in lighting fixtures
Customer Reviews
This site is a lifesaver for anyone dealing with HS codes. The explanation of 7011101000 for incandescent bulbs was spot on.
The breakdown of the 70 HS code is thorough, and the examples of products under 7011101000 were very helpful for my business.
I'm impressed with how the HS code 7011.10 is explained. It helped me categorize my glass lamp parts correctly for international shipping.
The site is helpful, but I had to search a bit to find the exact HS code for my product. Maybe a search bar would improve the user experience.
Great resource for understanding the classification of glass products. The section on material characteristics was especially useful.
