Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 940549 when importing or exporting electric luminaires designed for use with light sources other than LEDs. This includes products like traditional incandescent or fluorescent light fixtures. For example, if you're shipping a batch of fluorescent ceiling lights, this is the code to use.
This HS-6 code specifically covers electric light fittings that are not exclusively designed for LED sources, distinguishing it from HS-6 940550, which is for LED luminaires. If your product can use a variety of light sources, including incandescent or halogen, then 940549 is the correct classification.
When considering luminaires, note that this code encompasses items such as wall-mounted sconces and pendant lights that operate on traditional bulbs. If your product has a fixed light source but is not LED, it likely falls under this category.
For clarity, HS-6 940549 includes electric luminaires that may be used in homes, offices, or public spaces, designed for general lighting purposes. This can also cover decorative fixtures that use non-LED technologies.
