CEILING LAMP - HS Code Classification & Customs Information
This document details the classification and customs implications for your declared "CEILING LAMP" based on the provided HS codes. We'll break down the codes, associated tariffs, and important considerations for import.
Understanding the HS Code System
The Harmonized System (HS) code is a globally standardized system of names and numbers used to classify traded products. It's crucial for determining tariffs, trade regulations, and statistical reporting. Here's a breakdown of the HS code structure:
- First 2 Digits (Chapter): Broadly categorizes the product.
- First 4 Digits (Heading): More specific classification within the chapter.
- First 6 Digits (Subheading): Further refines the product category.
- Further Digits: National level specifications (can vary by country).
1. HS Code: 9405.11.40.10 - Chandeliers and other electric ceiling or wall lighting fittings, excluding those of a kind used for lighting public open spaces or thoroughfares: Designed for use solely with light-emitting diode (LED) light sources: Of base metal: Of brass Household
- Chapter 94: Furniture; lighting signs, prefabricated buildings. This chapter covers a wide range of items related to home and commercial furnishings.
- Heading 9405: Luminaires and lighting fittings including searchlights and spotlights and parts thereof, not elsewhere specified or included; illuminated signs, illuminated nameplates and the like, having a permanently fixed light source, and parts thereof not elsewhere specified or included. This specifically targets lighting equipment.
- Subheading 9405.11: Chandeliers and other electric ceiling or wall fittings. This narrows down the classification to ceiling and wall-mounted lighting.
- 9405.11.40: Specifically for fittings designed solely for LED light sources.
- 9405.11.40.10: Further specifies fittings made of brass and intended for household use.
Tariff Information:
- Basic Duty: 3.9%
- Additional Duty (Currently): 25.0%
- Additional Duty (Post April 2025): 30.0%
- Total Tax: 58.9%
Important Considerations:
- LED Compatibility: The HS code is specifically for fittings designed only for LED bulbs. If the fitting can accommodate other bulb types, this code may be incorrect.
- Material Verification: Confirm the fitting is genuinely made of brass. The code is specific to brass construction.
- Household Use: Ensure the product is intended for household use. Commercial-grade fittings may fall under a different classification.
- Post-April 2025 Tariffs: Be aware of the planned tariff increase in April 2025.
2. HS Code: 9405.11.10.00 - Chandeliers and other electric ceiling or wall fittings: Of base metal: Of brass
- Chapter 94: (Same as above) Furniture; lighting signs, prefabricated buildings.
- Heading 9405: (Same as above) Luminaires and lighting fittings including searchlights and spotlights and parts thereof, not elsewhere specified or included; illuminated signs, illuminated nameplates and the like, having a permanently fixed light source, and parts thereof not elsewhere specified or included.
- Subheading 9405.11: (Same as above) Chandeliers and other electric ceiling or wall fittings.
- 9405.11.10: Chandeliers and other electric ceiling or wall fittings of base metal.
- 9405.11.10.00: Further specifies fittings made of brass.
Tariff Information:
- Tax Information: Currently unavailable. The system failed to retrieve tax details for this HS code.
- Total Tax: Error.
Important Considerations:
- Tax Information Retrieval: The failure to retrieve tax information is a critical issue. You must investigate this further with your customs broker or the relevant customs authority. This could indicate an issue with the code's validity or require further clarification.
- Material Verification: Confirm the fitting is genuinely made of brass.
- Compatibility: This code does not specify LED-only compatibility. If the fitting is designed solely for LED bulbs, the 9405.11.40.10 code may be more appropriate.
- Detailed Specification: Provide a detailed product specification to your customs broker to ensure the correct HS code is applied.
Recommendation:
Due to the tax information error for HS code 9405.11.10.00, we strongly recommend consulting with a qualified customs broker to determine the correct HS code and associated tariffs for your "CEILING LAMP." Provide them with a complete product specification, including materials, bulb compatibility, and intended use.
