Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 940529 when importing or exporting electric table, desk, or floor lamps that do not use solely LED light sources. For example, a shipment of decorative floor lamps with incandescent bulbs would fall under this code.
This HS-6 line specifically covers luminaires that are electric and designed for various settings, including homes and offices. It excludes those that are solely LED-based, which are classified under a different code.
If you’re dealing with electric lamps that use halogen or fluorescent bulbs, you’ll want to use this code. In contrast, HS-6 940510 applies to lamps that are exclusively LED-based.
When classifying products, consider the type of light source used. If a lamp can use multiple types of bulbs, ensure it’s not primarily designed for LEDs to avoid misclassification.
