HS Code Classification for COB Light
Based on the provided reference data and the product description "COB Light", here's a breakdown of potential HS code classifications. COB (Chip on Board) lights can fall into several categories depending on their specific function and construction.
Important Note: The final HS code determination depends on the detailed specifications of the COB light (power source, application, materials, etc.). The following are possibilities, ranked by likelihood based on common COB light types.
1. Portable Electric Lamps (8513) - Most Likely if Battery Powered
- HS Code:
8513104000- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment; parts thereof. This chapter covers a broad range of electrical devices.
- 13: Portable electrical lamps. Specifically targets lamps designed to be moved easily.
- 10: Other portable electric lamps. This is a general category for lamps not specifically classified elsewhere within 8513.
- 4000: Further specifies the type of lamp.
- Tax Rate: 33.5% (Base: 3.5%, Additional: 0.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30% additional)
- Applicability: If the COB light is self-contained with a battery or designed to be powered by batteries, this is the most likely classification. Example: A handheld COB work light.
2. Portable Electric Lamps - Flashlights (8513)
- HS Code:
8513102000- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment; parts thereof.
- 13: Portable electrical lamps.
- 10: Other portable electric lamps.
- 2000: Specifically for flashlights.
- Tax Rate: 42.5% (Base: 12.5%, Additional: 0.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30% additional)
- Applicability: If the COB light is designed as a traditional flashlight, even with a COB LED, this code applies.
3. Light-emitting Diode (LED) Modules (8539)
- HS Code:
8539510000- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment; parts thereof.
- 39: Electrical filament or discharge lamps, including sealed beam lamp units and ultraviolet or infrared lamps; arc lamps; light-emitting diode (LED) light sources; parts thereof.
- 51: Light-emitting diode (LED) light sources.
- 00: LED modules.
- Tax Rate: 55.0% (Base: 0.0%, Additional: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30% additional)
- Applicability: If the COB light is sold as a component or module to be integrated into a larger system, this code is appropriate. Example: A bare COB LED array without housing or power supply.
4. Light-emitting Diode (LED) Lamps (8539)
- HS Code:
8539520091- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment; parts thereof.
- 39: Electrical filament or discharge lamps, including sealed beam lamp units and ultraviolet or infrared lamps; arc lamps; light-emitting diode (LED) light sources; parts thereof.
- 52: Light-emitting diode (LED) light sources.
- 00: LED lamps.
- 91: Other LED lamps.
- Tax Rate: 32.0% (Base: 2.0%, Additional: 0.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30% additional)
- Applicability: If the COB light is a complete lamp unit with a COB LED, housing, and basic power supply, this code is likely.
5. Electric Luminaires and Lighting Fittings (9405)
- HS Code:
9405416000- 94: Furniture; bedding, mattresses, supportings, lamps or lighting fittings, not elsewhere specified or included.
- 05: Luminaires and lighting fittings including searchlights and spotlights and parts thereof, not elsewhere specified or included.
- 41: Other electric luminaires and lighting fittings.
- 60: Photovoltaic, designed for use solely with light- emitting diode (LED) light sources.
- 00: Of base metal.
- Tax Rate: 61.0% (Base: 6.0%, Additional: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30% additional)
- Applicability: If the COB light is a complete fixture designed to be mounted or installed, especially if it includes a solar panel for charging, this code may apply.
6. Electric Luminaires and Lighting Fittings (9405)
- HS Code:
9405418440- 94: Furniture; bedding, mattresses, supportings, lamps or lighting fittings, not elsewhere specified or included.
- 05: Luminaires and lighting fittings including searchlights and spotlights and parts thereof, not elsewhere specified or included.
- 41: Other electric luminaires and lighting fittings.
- 84: Other.
- 40: Other.
- Tax Rate: 58.9% (Base: 3.9%, Additional: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30% additional)
- Applicability: If the COB light is a complete fixture designed to be mounted or installed, and doesn't fit into other specific categories within 9405.
Recommendations:
- Detailed Product Specification: Provide a complete description of the COB light, including its power source, intended use, materials, and any certifications it holds.
- Material Verification: Confirm the base metal composition if considering codes within 9405.
- Intended Use: Clarify whether the COB light is a standalone product or a component for integration into a larger system.
- Post 2025.4.2 Tariffs: Be aware of the additional tariffs that will be applied after April 2, 2025.
- Consult with Customs Broker: It is highly recommended to consult with a qualified customs broker to ensure accurate classification and compliance with import regulations.
