Other articles of glass
3 declarable lines
Heading 7020 covers other articles of glass that are not more specifically classified in earlier headings of chapter 70. It has three declarable lines: quartz reactor tubes and holders for semiconductor wafer furnaces at a general (MFN) rate of Free, glass inners for vacuum flasks or other vacuum vessels at 6.6%, and other glass articles at 5%.
Products in this heading
- Quartz reactor tubes and holders designed for insertion into diffusion and oxidation furnaces for production of semiconductor wafers
- Glass inners for vacuum flasks or other vacuum vessels
- Glass spacers and supports for industrial equipment, not laboratory glassware or electrical insulators
- Glass discs and rings for non-optical industrial use
- Glass components for furniture or machinery, such as plain glass inserts, not mirrors, containers, safety glass, or building glass
How to choose the right subheading
- First confirm the article is made of glass and is not a finished product named in an earlier chapter 70 heading.
- Check whether it is a quartz reactor tube or holder designed for insertion into diffusion and oxidation furnaces for semiconductor wafer production; that fact selects 7020.00.30.00.
- Check whether it is a glass inner for a vacuum flask or other vacuum vessel; that fact selects 7020.00.40.00.
- If neither specific line applies and the article is not named elsewhere in chapter 70, use the residual line 7020.00.60.00.
- Do not use heading 7020 for containers, mirrors, laboratory glassware, table or kitchen glassware, safety glass, or glass envelopes that have their own headings.
Often confused with
- Heading 7010Glass bottles, jars and vials for packing goods
Containers for conveyance or packing of goods are specifically covered by heading 7010.
- Heading 7017Laboratory, hygienic or pharmaceutical glassware
That glassware has its own heading and is not residual heading 7020.
- Heading 7009Glass mirrors
Mirrors are specifically classified in heading 7009.
- Heading 7013Table, kitchen, toilet, office or indoor decoration glassware
Glassware for those uses is named in heading 7013.
- Heading 7011Open glass envelopes for electric lamps and light sources
Glass envelopes without fittings for lamps and light sources are in heading 7011.
