Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 851310 when importing or exporting portable electric lamps that operate independently, such as those powered by batteries or accumulators. For instance, a shipment of battery-operated camping lanterns falls under this code.
This code specifically applies to lamps designed to function without being plugged into a fixed power source. In contrast, HS-6 851320 covers fixed or non-portable electric lamps, which are not included here.
When classifying products, note that HS-6 851310 excludes any lighting equipment that falls under HS-4 8512, which includes items like street lights or other stationary lighting solutions. Ensure your product is indeed portable and battery-operated.
Common examples include handheld flashlights, portable reading lamps, and emergency lights that use dry batteries. If your product has a built-in rechargeable battery and is designed for mobility, it likely fits this classification.
