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.
