- LED vs. Incandescent/Halogen: The type of light source (LED, incandescent, halogen) may affect classification.
- Functionality: Does the lamp have additional features (e.g., USB charging ports, adjustable brightness)? These features could lead to a different HS code.
- Voltage: The voltage of the lamp is a key factor.
- Certification: Depending on the destination country, specific certifications (e.g., CE, UL) might be required for electrical products.
- Detailed Description: Provide a very detailed description of the desk lamp to customs authorities. This will help ensure accurate classification.

Customer Reviews
The image examples are a nice touch, helps visualize what they're talking about when explaining the HS code classifications. The information on voltage and certifications is also useful to keep in mind.
I was trying to figure out the correct code for some LED desk lamps we're exporting to the US. This site had exactly what I needed - especially the 8512.90.60.00 code and the updated tariff rates.
The HS code details for desk lamps are pretty good, but it would be nice if the 'Important Considerations' section was a little more specific about materials. It felt a bit vague.
Really helpful to have the tariff rates broken down like that! Knowing the base tariff vs. the additional tariffs for 8512.90.90.00 saves a lot of guesswork for importing.
