U.S. imports of glass envelopes and parts for cathode-ray tubes (without fittings) (HS 701120) totaled $12K in April 2026, traded with 4 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataGlass envelopes and components for cathode-ray tubes — including cones, front panels for color TV tubes, and monochrome display envelopes — represent a legacy technology segment whose trade volumes have declined sharply with the global transition to flat-panel displays. The US schedule retains distinct lines for CRT cones (7011201000), monochrome computer/graphic display envelopes (7011204500), color TV front panels (7011208525), and other CRT glass (7011208540). The United Kingdom and Germany lead US import supply in this heading, reflecting the historical concentration of CRT glass manufacturing in Europe.

While CRT technology has been largely displaced in consumer electronics, residual demand exists for replacement parts in industrial monitors, medical imaging equipment, broadcast applications, and legacy systems still in service. Importers in this niche should be prepared for longer lead times and limited supplier options given the contraction of CRT glass manufacturing globally.
A CRT cone (7011201000) is the funnel-shaped rear section of the tube envelope, while a front panel (7011208525) is the flat or slightly curved faceplate that forms the viewing surface. Both are glass components of the CRT envelope assembly, but they are classified under separate tariff lines. Physical form and the part's position in the tube assembly are the determining factors.
