Borosilicate Glass Test Tubes

Unworked borosilicate glass tubes used primarily in laboratory settings for scientific experiments and sample containment. They fall under HTS 7002.39.00 as unworked glass tubes, without any drawn, blown, or further processing beyond basic tube formation. These tubes are essential for applications requiring thermal resistance and chemical durability.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7002.32.00.00Same rate: 41%

If drawn or tooled at one or both ends

Tubes with drawn or tooled ends are classified as 'drawn or blown' rather than unworked under heading 7002.

7017.10.30Lower: 35% vs 41%

If sold as complete laboratory apparatus

Assembled lab glassware like finished test tube racks or stands falls under laboratory glassware, not raw unworked tubes.

7019.12.00Lower: 39.8% vs 41%

If cut to specific lengths and packaged for retail

Glass tubes cut and retail-packaged become 'other glass articles' rather than bulk unworked material.

Import Tips & Compliance

โ€ข Verify the tubes are unworked (no cutting, annealing post-formation, or coatings) to avoid reclassification under 7002.32 or Chapter 70 worked glass

โ€ข Provide chemical composition certificates confirming borosilicate material for customs valuation and compliance
