HS Code 7011.20 – Glass envelopes (including bulbs and tubes); open, and glass parts thereof, without fittings, for cathode-ray tubes
HS code 7011.20 is the 6-digit subheading for glass envelopes (including bulbs and tubes), open, and glass parts thereof, without fittings, for cathode-ray tubes. It is used for TV CRT glass funnels, monitor CRT glass panels, oscilloscope tube glass envelopes, radar display CRT glass and medical imaging CRT glass.
What HS 7011.20 covers
This HS code specifically identifies glass envelopes, bulbs, tubes, and their parts, without fittings, that are intended for cathode-ray tubes (CRTs). CRTs were once the core technology for televisions, computer monitors, and oscilloscopes, forming the vacuum-sealed glass structure that houses the electron gun and phosphor screen. Although largely replaced by flat-panel displays, a niche market persists for replacement parts, vintage electronics restoration, and specialized industrial or medical equipment still utilizing CRTs. Importers are typically repair shops, specialized electronics manufacturers, or collectors. Exporters are often legacy glass manufacturers or those catering to these specific demands. Critical aspects include the precision of the glass shape, the integrity of the vacuum seal, and often, lead content for X-ray shielding, ensuring the functionality and safety of the CRT.

Codes often confused with 7011.20
Common mistake. This is specifically for CRTs, differentiating it from 701110 (electric lighting) and 701190 (other uses). The "cathode-ray tube" specification is critical for correct classification.

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).
