Important Considerations & Recommendations:

• Power Source: The classification hinges on whether the lamp is self-contained (battery, magneto, etc.). If it requires mains power, it will fall under a different HS code (likely within Chapter 85, but a more specific code).
• Functionality: If the "flash lamp" has features beyond basic illumination (e.g., a built-in radio, USB charging port), it may require a different classification.
• Material & Value: Please verify the material composition and declared value of the lamps. This is crucial for accurate tariff assessment.
• Certification: Depending on the destination country, specific safety certifications (e.g., CE, UL) may be required for electrical products. Confirm the necessary certifications before import.
• Date of Import: Be mindful of the 2025.4.2 date. The additional tariffs will change on that date.
