Overview
This HTS category, 7011.10.10.00, specifically covers glass bulbs designed for incandescent lamps. These are the hollow glass enclosures that contain the filament and are essential components for the operation of traditional incandescent light bulbs. The classification is limited to the glass envelope itself, without any integrated electrical fittings or other components that would constitute a finished lamp.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7011.10.50.00 ("Other"), is crucial. While 7011.10.50.00 would encompass other types of glass envelopes for electric lighting not specifically designated for incandescent bulbs (such as those for halogen lamps or specialized lighting applications), 7011.10.10.00 is exclusively for the bulbs of standard incandescent lighting. This distinction is based on the intended and primary use of the glass envelope within the lighting industry.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification at this level relies solely on accurately identifying the article as a glass bulb specifically manufactured for incandescent lamps. The physical form, material (glass), and intended application as a component of incandescent lighting are the key determinative factors.
