HS code · 6-digit subheading
HS Code 7002.39 – Glass; unworked, in tubes, other than of glass having a linear coefficient of expansion not exceeding 5 x 10 (to the minus 6, (or 0.000005) ) per Kelvin within a temperature range of 0-300 degrees C, not fused quartz or other fused silica
HS code 7002.39 is the 6-digit subheading for glass, unworked, in tubes, other than of glass having a linear coefficient of expansion not exceeding 5 x 10 (to the minus 6, (or 0.000005) ) per Kelvin within a temperature range of 0-300 degrees C, not fused quartz or other fused silica. It is used for soda-lime glass tubes, fluorescent lamp tubes (unworked), neon sign tubing (unworked), decorative glass tubes and basic laboratory glass tubing.
What HS 7002.39 covers
This HS code serves as a residual category for unworked glass tubes that are neither fused quartz/silica (700231) nor low thermal expansion glass (700232). It typically covers tubes made from common glass compositions like soda-lime glass. These tubes are widely used in general lighting applications, decorative purposes, basic laboratory setups, and various industrial uses where extreme thermal resistance or specialized optical properties are not the primary requirement. Importers and exporters include general glass manufacturers, lighting component suppliers, and distributors for consumer and industrial goods. The trade in these tubes is driven by their versatility, cost-effectiveness, and suitability for a broad range of everyday and industrial applications where standard glass properties suffice.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
