7011.20.85 - Other

This HTS classification, 7011.20.85, encompasses "Other" glass envelopes and open glass parts specifically intended for cathode-ray tubes (CRTs), excluding those explicitly classified as monochrome glass envelopes for automatic data processing machine displays (7011.20.45.00). This category serves as a residual classification for CRT glass components that do not meet the specific criteria of the monochrome sibling, meaning it generally covers colored or composite glass structures. The defining characteristic remains the intended application in CRT technology, which historically encompassed television picture tubes and other display devices.

The distinction from the sibling category, 7011.20.45.00, is crucial. While both relate to CRT glass envelopes, this "Other" category is not restricted to monochrome applications or specific certified uses in data processing displays. It can include, for example, colored glass components used in the construction of CRT bulbs for television or other visual display systems, provided they are open and unfitted.

Within this category, further distinctions are made to address specific types of CRT glass parts. The primary subcategory, 7011.20.85.40, specifically covers "Other" components, indicating that even within the broader "Other" designation for CRTs, there can be further subdivisions based on more granular product characteristics or intended use that do not fall into previously defined subheadings. This allows for a more precise classification of various CRT-related glass elements.
