Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 851390 when importing or exporting parts specifically designed for portable electric lamps that operate independently, such as those powered by batteries or accumulators. For example, if you're shipping replacement bulbs or switches for battery-operated lanterns, this code applies.
This code distinguishes itself from HS-6 851391, which covers complete portable electric lamps. If you're dealing with a full lamp unit, you would use that code instead. However, if your shipment consists solely of components like reflectors or casings for those lamps, HS-6 851390 is the right choice.
Parts classified under HS-6 851390 include items like battery holders, wiring harnesses, and lenses specifically for portable electric lamps. These components are essential for the functionality of lamps designed to operate without a direct power source.
When considering HS-6 851390, think about the end use of the parts. If they are intended for use in portable lighting solutions like camping lanterns or emergency flashlights, this classification is appropriate.
