Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 9405 when importing or exporting luminaires and light fittings, including items like LED chandeliers or non-electric lamps. This heading covers a variety of lighting products designed for different uses, ensuring you classify your goods correctly.

When deciding between HS-6 940511 and HS-6 940519, consider the light source. If your chandelier is designed solely for LED use, choose 940511. For those using other light sources, 940519 is the right fit. This distinction is crucial for compliance and tariff purposes.

For table or floor lamps, if they are specifically for LED use, select HS-6 940521. If they accommodate other types of bulbs, you would use HS-6 940529. Understanding these nuances helps avoid misclassification and potential penalties.

If you are dealing with illuminated signs, HS-6 940561 is for those designed solely with LED technology, while HS-6 940569 applies to signs using other light sources. This differentiation can impact both duty rates and marketability.
