- Applicability: This code is suitable if the garage light is a general lighting fixture not specifically designed for vehicles (e.g., a standard LED shop light used in a garage). Total Tax Rate: 55.0% (0.0% base tariff + 25.0% additional tariff, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025).
-
8512.20.20.40: Electrical lighting or signaling equipment (excluding articles of heading 8539), windshield wipers, defrosters and demisters, of a kind used for cycles or motor vehicles; parts thereof: Other lighting or visual signaling equipment: Lighting equipment For vehicles of subheading 8701.21, 8701.22, 8701.23, 8701.24 or 8701.29 or heading 8702, 8703, 8704, 8705 or 8711.
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment.
- 12: Electrical lighting or signaling equipment.
- 20: Other lighting or visual signaling equipment.
- 40: Lighting equipment for specific vehicles.
- Applicability: Use this code only if the light is specifically designed for installation in vehicles (e.g., a light intended for a van conversion). Total Tax Rate: 55.0% (0.0% base tariff + 25.0% additional tariff, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025).
-
8539.29.30.60: 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: Other filament lamps, excluding ultraviolet or infrared lamps: Other: Designed for a voltage not exceeding
100 V: Other Other: Other.- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment.
- 39: Electrical filament or discharge lamps.
- 29: Other filament lamps.
- 30: Lamps designed for low voltage.
- 60: Other low voltage lamps.
- Applicability: If the "GARAGE LIGHT" is only the LED bulb/tube itself and operates at 100V or less. Total Tax Rate: 37.5% (0.0% base tariff + 7.5% additional tariff, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025).
-
8539.52.00.91: 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: Light-emitting diode (LED) light sources: Light-emitting diode (LED) lamps Other.
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment.
- 39: Electrical filament or discharge lamps.
- 52: LED light sources.
- 00: LED lamps.
- 91: Other LED lamps.
- Applicability: If the "GARAGE LIGHT" is a complete LED lamp unit. Total Tax Rate: 32.0% (2.0% base tariff + 0.0% additional tariff, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025).
-
9405.41.60.00: 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: Other electric luminaires and lighting fittings: Photovoltaic, designed for use solely with light- emitting diode (LED) light sources: Of base metal: Other.
- 94: Furniture; bedding, mattresses, support, stuffing and similar items; luminaires and lighting fittings.
- 05: Luminaires and lighting fittings.
- 41: Other electric luminaires.
- 60: Luminaires designed for LED use.
- Applicability: If the "GARAGE LIGHT" is a complete fixture with a photovoltaic (solar) panel and is designed only for LED bulbs. Total Tax Rate: 61.0% (6.0% base tariff + 25.0% additional tariff, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025).
-
9405.49.00.00: 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: Other electric luminaires and lighting fittings: Other.
- 94: Furniture; bedding, mattresses, support, stuffing and similar items; luminaires and lighting fittings.
- 05: Luminaires and lighting fittings.
- 49: Other electric luminaires.
- 00: Other luminaires.
- Applicability: If the "GARAGE LIGHT" is a complete fixture without a photovoltaic panel. Total Tax Rate: 58.9% (3.9% base tariff + 25.0% additional tariff, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025).
Important Considerations:
- Complete Fixture vs. Bulb: Is the "GARAGE LIGHT" a complete unit (housing + bulb) or just the bulb itself?
- Voltage: What is the operating voltage of the light?
- Vehicle Use: Is it specifically designed for installation in a vehicle?
- Photovoltaic Panel: Does it have a solar panel?
Recommendation:
To ensure accurate classification, please provide more details about the "GARAGE LIGHT". Specifically, confirm whether it is a complete fixture or just a bulb, its voltage, and whether it's intended for vehicle use. Also, provide the material composition and unit price for verification.
Customer Reviews
I found the 8539520091 code for my LED garage lamp. The site even explained the tax rate and when it would increase. Highly recommend this for anyone exporting lighting products.
The information is good, but I wish there was a simpler way to filter the HS codes based on product type. It took me a while to figure out which one applied to my garage light.
The HS code explanations were very detailed. I especially appreciated the note about whether the light is a complete fixture or just the bulb. Helped me avoid a costly mistake.
This site has clear breakdowns of HS codes for garage lights. The 8512202080 code was exactly what I needed for my LED shop light.
