Globes for lamps and lanterns
Glass globes for lamps and lanterns
HSN 7020 00 11 (Globes for lamps and lanterns) 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. Other articles of glass within Chapter 70 — particularly safety glass, toughened glass, and glass used in electrical or optical applications — may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance obligations.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to other glassware categories: glass envelopes for electric lamps and cathode-ray tubes are classified separately within Chapter 70 and may attract compliance under quality control orders applicable to electrical components. Re-classification on customs examination — for example, where a globe is treated as an electrical lamp component rather than a decorative glass article — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant determination. Confirm the product's intended use and precise tariff description before relying on the absence of compliance here.
