Here's a classification breakdown for "CANDLE LIGHT" based on the provided reference data, aiming for the most relevant HS codes. Please note that "CANDLE LIGHT" is a broad term, and the precise HS code depends on the composition and form of the product.
-
3605.00.00.30 - Matches, other than pyrotechnic articles of heading 3604 Matches with natural wood stems (Tax Rate: 37.5%)
- 36: Chapter 36 covers Miscellaneous Chemical Products.
- 05: Specifically relates to Matches.
- 00: Further specifies matches.
- 00: Details matches.
- 30: Indicates matches with natural wood stems. If the candle lights are essentially wooden matches, this is a strong possibility.
-
3605.00.00.60 - Matches, other than pyrotechnic articles of heading 3604 Other (Tax Rate: 37.5%)
- 36: Chapter 36 - Miscellaneous Chemical Products.
- 05: Matches.
- 00: Further specifies matches.
- 00: Details matches.
- 60: Covers matches not fitting the 'natural wood stem' category – e.g., paper matches, safety matches.
-
3606.90.80.00 - Ferrocerium and other pyrophoric alloys in all forms; articles of combustible materials as specified in note 2 to this chapter: Other: Other (Tax Rate: 42.5%)
- 36: Chapter 36 - Miscellaneous Chemical Products.
- 06: Covers Ferrocerium and other pyrophoric alloys, and combustible materials.
- 90: "Other" category within combustible materials.
- 80: Further specifies "Other" within the "Other" category.
- This code is relevant if the candle lights are based on pyrophoric alloys (materials that ignite spontaneously) or are articles made from other combustible materials.
-
3606.90.30.00 - Ferrocerium and other pyrophoric alloys in all forms; articles of combustible materials as specified in note 2 to this chapter: Other: Ferrocerium and other pyrophoric alloys (Tax Rate: 35.9%)
- 36: Chapter 36 - Miscellaneous Chemical Products.
- 06: Ferrocerium and other pyrophoric alloys, and combustible materials.
- 90: "Other" category within combustible materials.
- 30: Specifically for Ferrocerium and other pyrophoric alloys. If the candle lights are primarily made of these alloys (e.g., fire starters), this is the appropriate code.
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: The primary material of the "CANDLE LIGHT" is crucial. Is it wood, paper, a chemical alloy, or something else?
- Form Factor: Are they traditional matches, fire starters, or another type of combustible article?
- Single vs. Multiple Components: If the candle light consists of multiple parts (e.g., a wax-coated wick and a wooden base), the classification might be more complex.
- 2025.4.2 Tariff Changes: Be aware that additional tariffs will apply after April 2, 2025, for some of these codes.
- Certification: Depending on the composition, you may need to provide safety certifications or material declarations to customs.
- Precise Description: Provide a detailed product description to customs, including the materials used, dimensions, and intended use.

Customer Reviews
The site gave me a clear understanding of the different HS codes for candle lights. The 3605000030 code was the one I needed for my product.
The information on the 3606908000 code helped me understand the higher tariff rates. It was good to see the context of the 42.5% rate.
This site is a lifesaver for finding HS codes. The breakdown for 3605000030 was exactly what I needed for my export documentation.
The site has good info, but the 3605000060 code explanation could be clearer. I had to double-check other sources to confirm what it covers.
I found the info on the 3606903000 HS code super useful. It helped me understand the difference between ferrocerium and other materials.
