About HS Code 701110
This category covers the raw glass envelopes, bulbs, and tubes, along with their parts, specifically designed for electric lighting, but crucially, without any electrical fittings. These are fundamental components in the manufacturing of traditional incandescent, fluorescent, and halogen lamps. Importers are typically lighting assembly plants and manufacturers who integrate these glass parts with filaments, electrodes, and bases to create finished lighting products. Exporters are specialized glass manufacturers with expertise in forming precise and durable glass shapes. Key aspects of trade include the glass's clarity, heat resistance, dimensional accuracy, and consistency, which are vital for the performance and safety of the final lighting product. While LED technology has reduced demand for some traditional forms, these glass components remain essential for a significant portion of the global lighting market.
