U.S. imports of Articles of Glass, NESOI (HS 702000) totaled $32.1M in August 2026, imported from 55 countries.
Importers of Articles of Glass, NESOI paid $6.5M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 20.35% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Articles of Glass, NESOI imports of $32.1M in August 2026 ran 22% above the year-to-date monthly average of $26.4M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataQuartz reactor tubes for semiconductor wafer production (7020003000) sit alongside vacuum flask inners (7020004000) and a broad residual category of glass articles (7020006000, 7020009000) under this heading — a range that spans high-purity optical and electronic components to everyday glass goods. Japan and Germany lead US supply, reflecting their strength in precision and specialty glass manufacturing for semiconductor and industrial applications. The semiconductor-related lines are particularly sensitive to export controls and supply-chain concentration risk given the critical role of quartz components in chip fabrication.

Line 7020003000 specifically covers glass and quartz tubes used in the production of semiconductor wafers — a high-purity, precision-manufactured product with a narrow end-use definition. Importers must be prepared to document the semiconductor manufacturing application to support classification in this line rather than the broader 'other articles of glass' provisions. Misclassification can affect duty liability and, for certain origins, export-control compliance.
The two NESOI lines (7020006000 and 7020009000) serve as catch-all provisions for glass articles not covered by the semiconductor or vacuum-flask lines. The distinction between those two NESOI lines turns on whether the article is related to semiconductor wafer production. For unusual or composite glass articles, consulting a licensed customs broker and, if necessary, requesting a CBP binding ruling is the most reliable path to correct classification.
