Products classified under HTS 7002.31.00.00
Fused Quartz Semiconductor Processing Tubes
Long, unworked tubes of fused quartz used in semiconductor diffusion furnaces and CVD reactors. Their extreme purity prevents contamination during wafer processing at high temperatures. Falls under 7002.31.00.00 for unworked fused silica tubes.
Fused Quartz Optical Fiber Drawing Tubes
Precision unworked tubes of fused silica used in optical fiber preform collapse and drawing towers. Their clarity and low impurity levels are critical for single-mode fiber production. HTS 7002.31.00.00 applies to these unworked fused quartz tubes.
Fused Quartz Solar Simulator Tubes
Unworked fused silica tubes serving as test chambers for photovoltaic cell evaluation under concentrated solar simulation. High solar transmission (down to 200nm) maintained through purity. HTS 7002.31.00.00 for unworked tubes of fused quartz.
Synthetic Fused Quartz Process Gas Tubes
Unworked synthetic fused silica tubes for delivering process gases in semiconductor and solar cell manufacturing. Flame-polished ends acceptable if pre-annealing per chapter notes. HTS 7002.31.00.00 covers these unworked tubes.
Fused Quartz Tubing for Laboratory Reactors
Unworked tubes made from fused quartz or fused silica, supplied in straight lengths without further processing beyond forming and annealing.
