Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 940542 when importing or exporting electric luminaires designed specifically for LED light sources. This includes products like LED ceiling lights or wall-mounted fixtures that are intended solely for LED bulbs.
This code is distinct from HS-6 940541, which covers similar luminaires but designed for other types of light sources. If your product is strictly for LED use, 940542 is the correct classification.
The 940542 subheading narrows down the broader category of luminaires to those specifically engineered for LED technology. This is important for compliance with energy efficiency regulations and standards.
When classifying your products, ensure they are marketed and packaged as LED luminaires. Products designed for incandescent or fluorescent bulbs should not be classified under this code.
