HS Code Classification for CANDLE WARMER LAMP
Based on the provided reference data, classifying a "CANDLE WARMER LAMP" requires careful consideration of its function and materials. Here's a breakdown of potential HS codes, along with explanations:
-
8543708000 - Electrical machines and apparatus, having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter; parts thereof: Other machines and apparatus: Other: Microwave amplifiers
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment.
- 43: Electrical machines and apparatus having individual functions.
- 70: Other machines and apparatus.
- 80: Microwave amplifiers.
- Explanation: If the candle warmer lamp utilizes microwave technology to generate heat, this code might be applicable. However, this is less common for typical candle warmers.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%, Total Tariff: 55.0%
-
8543708500 - Electrical machines and apparatus, having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter; parts thereof: Other machines and apparatus: Other: Other: For electrical nerve stimulation
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment.
- 43: Electrical machines and apparatus having individual functions.
- 70: Other machines and apparatus.
- 85: Other: For electrical nerve stimulation.
- Explanation: The reference notes this code is for electrical nerve stimulation. While a candle warmer doesn't directly stimulate nerves, the description mentions heat as a form of electrical stimulation. This is a potential, though less direct, fit.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%, Total Tariff: 55.0%
-
3926904000 - Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: Other: Imitation gemstones
- 39: Plastics and articles thereof.
- 26: Other articles of plastics.
- 90: Other.
- 40: Imitation gemstones.
- Explanation: If the candle warmer lamp incorporates decorative plastic "gemstones" or similar embellishments, this code could apply to those components specifically. It wouldn't cover the entire lamp.

Recommendation:
The most probable HS codes are 3924905650 and 3924104000, depending on the primary function of the lamp.
Important Considerations:
- Material Composition: Confirm the primary material of the lamp (e.g., plastic, metal, glass).
- Functionality: Is it solely for warming candles, or does it have other uses (e.g., wax melting, aromatherapy)?
- Component Breakdown: If the lamp contains multiple materials, each component might have a different HS code.
- Certification: Depending on the electrical components and intended use, specific safety certifications (e.g., CE, UL) may be required.
- Single Declaration: It is important to declare the correct HS code to avoid potential issues with customs clearance.
Customer Reviews
The explanation of HS code 3926904000 was clear. It clarified that it's for imitation gemstones, which is a specific component and not the whole lamp.
The mention of the material composition being important for HS code classification was helpful. I hadn't thought about that detail before.
The recommendation of HS codes 3924905650 and 3924104000 was spot on. It depends on the lamp's primary function, which I now understand better.
The classification of HS code 8543708500 was a bit confusing. It's for nerve stimulation, but the mention of heat as a form of electrical stimulation gave me something to think about.
I found the tariff rate info for HS code 3924104000 very useful. It helped me understand the tax implications if the lamp is used for wax melting.
