Yes. The EPA regulates CRT glass under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and importers of used CRTs or CRT glass must comply with EPA's CRT rule, which distinguishes between CRTs being imported for reuse versus those destined for recycling or disposal. Shipments intended for recycling may require notification and tracking under hazardous waste provisions; importers should consult EPA guidance and, where applicable, a licensed environmental compliance specialist.

The tariff classification itself has not changed — color television picture tubes remain in their own heading regardless of market volume. However, low import volumes mean fewer recent CBP rulings on edge cases, so importers of specialized or industrial CRT tubes (e.g., for radar or medical imaging) should consider requesting a binding ruling to confirm classification, particularly if the tube's specifications differ from standard consumer television tubes.
