Last updated: July 2026 dataOpen glass envelopes and parts used in electric lighting — including bulbs for incandescent lamps and other lamp types — are a mature but still-traded input for the lighting manufacturing industry. The US schedule separates glass bulbs for incandescent lamps (7011101000) from other lighting envelopes (7011105000). China dominates import supply, with Germany, Japan, and Mexico also present, reflecting both legacy European and Japanese lamp glass expertise and North American manufacturing integration. Importers should be aware that Chinese-origin goods in this heading are subject to Section 301 tariffs.

Classification is based on the physical form and intended use of the glass envelope, not on the lamp technology's market status. Glass envelopes specifically designed for incandescent lamps remain classified under 7011101000 regardless of declining commercial demand, while envelopes for other lamp types (fluorescent, specialty discharge, etc.) fall under 7011105000. The distinction matters because duty rates may differ between lines.
Chinese-origin glass envelopes for electric lighting are subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should confirm with a licensed customs broker whether any antidumping or countervailing duty orders also apply to specific product types within this heading, as the lighting components sector has historically been subject to trade remedy investigations.
