Glass envelopes for electronic valves

Glass envelopes for electronic valves, open and without fittings

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7011 90 10 (glass envelopes for electronic valves) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Sibling lines under Chapter 70 covering glass envelopes for electric lamps or cathode-ray tubes may attract compliance; product application and specification determine the correct classification.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: glass envelopes intended for electric lamps or fluorescent tubes are classified under separate headings within Chapter 70 and may carry BIS Quality Control Order obligations. Customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending applicable product clearance. Verify the declared end-use — electronic valve versus lamp or display application — against the customs tariff and technical product specification before shipment.
