Declaration Analysis: BULBS – HS Code Breakdown & Customs Considerations
This analysis details the HS codes associated with your declared “BULBS” and provides a breakdown of customs implications. We've identified three potential classifications based on the provided information.
Important Note: The correct HS code is crucial for accurate duty assessment and smooth customs clearance. The final determination depends on the exact specifications of your bulbs.
1. HS Code: 8539.00.00 – Electrical Lamps & LED Sources
- Description: Electrical filament or discharge lamps, including sealed beam lamp units and ultraviolet or infrared lamps; arc lamps; light-emitting diode (LED) light sources; parts thereof.
- Breakdown:
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment, their parts; sound recording or reproducing apparatus, television-image, telephone, telegraph, radio transmitting or receiving apparatus, and apparatus for measuring, checking, testing, navigating or controlling.
- 39: Lamps and lighting fittings; electric lamps and tubes; parts thereof.
- 00.00: Covers a broad range of electrical lamps, including LED sources.
- Tax Information: Currently, tax information retrieval failed. This requires further investigation. Please provide more details about the bulb type (e.g., LED, incandescent, fluorescent) to allow for accurate tax rate determination.
- Considerations: This HS code is suitable for complete lamp units. If you are importing parts of lamps, a more specific sub-heading within 8539 may apply.
2. HS Code: 7011.10.10.00 – Glass Bulbs for Incandescent Lamps
- Description: Glass envelopes (including bulbs and tubes), open, and glass parts thereof, without fittings, for electric lamps and light sources, cathode-ray tubes or the like: For electric lighting: Bulbs for incandescent lamps.
- Breakdown:
- 70: Glass and glassware.
- 11: Glass bulbs, tubes and other glass parts for electric lamps.
- 10.10.00: Specifically for bulbs used in incandescent lamps.
- Tax Information:
- Basic Duty: 0.0%
- Additional Tariff: 25.0%
- Post April 2, 2025: Additional Tariff increases to 30%.
- Total Tax: 55.0%
- Considerations: This HS code is specifically for the glass envelopes (bulbs) used in incandescent lamps without fittings. If your bulbs have fittings (e.g., metal bases, connectors), this code is not appropriate. Please confirm if the bulbs are fitted or unfitted.
3. HS Code: 9022.90.95.00 – Parts & Accessories for X-Ray Apparatus
- Description: Apparatus based on the use of X-rays or of alpha, beta, gamma or other ionizing radiations, whether or not for medical, surgical, dental or veterinary uses, including radiography or radiotherapy apparatus, X-ray tubes and other X-ray generators, high tension generators, control panels and desks, screens, examination or treatment tables, chairs and the like; parts and accessories thereof: Other, including parts and accessories: Other: Parts and accessories: Other: Other.
- Breakdown:
- 90: Instruments and apparatus which measure, check, test, navigate or control.
- 22: Instruments and apparatus for medical, surgical, dental or veterinary uses.
- 90.95.00: Parts and accessories for the above.
- Tax Information:
- Basic Duty: 1.4%
- Additional Tariff: 25.0%
- Post April 2, 2025: Additional Tariff increases to 30%.
- Total Tax: 56.4%
- Considerations: This HS code seems unlikely for standard bulbs. It is likely assigned if the bulbs are components of X-ray or other ionizing radiation apparatus. Please confirm if these bulbs are used in medical or industrial X-ray equipment.
Recommendations:
- Confirm Bulb Type: Precisely identify the type of bulb (LED, incandescent, fluorescent, halogen, etc.).
- Check for Fittings: Determine if the bulbs have any metal bases, connectors, or other fittings.
- End Use: Clarify the intended use of the bulbs (general lighting, medical equipment, industrial applications).
- Material Composition: Confirm the material composition of the bulbs (e.g., glass type, filament material).
- Single Declaration: If you are importing multiple types of bulbs, consider separate declarations for each HS code to ensure accurate duty assessment.
Providing this additional information will allow for a more precise HS code classification and ensure smooth customs clearance. Please note that the final HS code determination rests with customs officials.
