HS Code Classification & Duty Analysis: CIRCULAR PANEL LIGHT

Based on the provided information, your "CIRCULAR PANEL LIGHT" appears to fall under two potential HS code classifications, depending on its specific characteristics and function. Here's a detailed breakdown:

1. HS Code: 8539.52.00.91 – Light-emitting diode (LED) light sources

• Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recording or reproducing apparatus, television-image transmission or reproduction apparatus, and parts thereof. This chapter broadly covers electrical components.
• 8539: Electrical lamps and lighting fittings. This narrows down the category to lighting products.
• 8539.52: Light-emitting diode (LED) light sources. This specifically identifies the product as an LED light source.
• 8539.52.00: LED light sources, not elsewhere specified or included.

• 8539.52.00.91: Other LED light sources. This is a residual subheading for LED light sources not covered by more specific classifications.

  • Duty:

    • Basic Duty: 2.0%
    • Additional Duty: 0.0% (until April 2, 2025)
    • Additional Duty (after April 2, 2025): 30%
    • Total Duty: 32.0%

  • Considerations: This classification is suitable if the product is primarily considered a light source itself – meaning it's sold as a component to be integrated into a larger lighting system or fixture.

2. HS Code: 9405.42.84.40 – 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

• Chapter 94: Furniture, bedding, lighting signs, prefabricated buildings. This chapter covers finished goods for home and commercial use.
• 9405: Luminaires and lighting fittings including searchlights and spotlights and parts thereof; illuminated signs, illuminated nameplates and the like, having a permanently fixed light source, and parts thereof not elsewhere specified or included.
• 9405.42: Other electric luminaires and lighting fittings.
• 9405.42.84: Designed for use solely with light-emitting diode (LED) light sources.

• 9405.42.84.40: Other. This is a residual subheading for LED luminaires not covered by more specific classifications.

  • Duty:

    • Basic Duty: 3.9%
    • Additional Duty: 25.0% (until April 2, 2025)
    • Additional Duty (after April 2, 2025): 30%
    • Total Duty: 58.9%

  • Considerations: This classification is more appropriate if the product is a complete lighting fixture ready for installation – meaning it includes the LED light source and the housing, wiring, and other components necessary for operation.

Key Differences & Recommendation:

The main difference lies in whether the product is sold as a component (8539.52.00.91) or a finished good (9405.42.84.40).

To determine the correct HS code, please consider the following:

• Functionality: Is it sold as a standalone lighting solution or as a part for integration?
• Completeness: Does it require additional components for operation, or is it ready to use out of the box?

Important Reminders:

• Material Composition: The material used in the housing (e.g., plastic, metal) can sometimes influence the HS code.
• Unit Price: Higher unit prices might suggest a more complex finished product, potentially leaning towards 9405.42.84.40.
• Certifications: Depending on the destination country, you may need certifications (e.g., CE, RoHS, UL) for lighting products. Please verify the specific requirements for your import market.
• Customs Ruling: For definitive classification, it is always recommended to obtain a binding ruling from the customs authority in the importing country.
