Find HS Code and trade information for LED WALL LIGHT

Okay, let's break down the HS codes and tax implications for your "LED WALL LIGHT" declaration. Here's a structured analysis to help you understand the classification and potential costs:

Understanding HS Codes – A Quick Guide

HS codes (Harmonized System codes) are internationally standardized codes used to classify traded products. The first 6 digits are generally consistent worldwide, while additional digits can vary by country. Here's how to interpret the codes you provided:

• Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment.
• Chapter 94: Furniture; bedding, mattresses, support, cushioning and similar stuffed furnishings; luminaires and lighting fittings; illuminated signs, illuminated nameplates and the like; prefabricated buildings.

Detailed Analysis of Your Codes

Let's examine each code individually:

1. HS Code: 8539.51.00.00 – Light-emitting diode (LED) light sources

• 85: Electrical machinery and equipment.
• 39: Electrical lamps and lighting fittings.
• 51: Light-emitting diodes (LEDs).

• 00.00: Further specification – generally refers to the specific type of LED light source.

  • Tax Implications:
    • Basic Duty: 0.0%
    • Additional Tariff: 25.0% (Currently)
    • Post April 2, 2025: Additional Tariff increases to 30.0%

Recommendations & Important Considerations:

1. Accurate Description is Key: The most appropriate HS code depends on the exact nature of your product. Is it just the LED module, or a complete fixture? What material is the fixture made of?
2. Material Verification: Double-check the material composition of your light fixtures. The code 9405.11.40.10 is specific to brass.
3. Intended Use: Confirm the intended use (household vs. commercial/public space).
4. Single vs. Multiple Light Sources: If the fixture can accommodate different types of bulbs, it might not fall under the "designed solely for LED" codes.
5. Certification: Depending on the destination country, you may need certifications (e.g., CE, RoHS, UL) to demonstrate safety and compliance. Please check the import regulations of your specific country.
6. Valuation: The declared value (single price) of your goods is crucial for tax calculation. Ensure it's accurate and reflects the true transaction value.
7. April 2, 2025 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the upcoming tariff increases and factor them into your cost calculations.

To help me narrow down the most accurate HS code for you, could you please provide more details about your "LED WALL LIGHT"? Specifically:

• Is it a complete fixture, or just the LED module?
• What is the primary material of the fixture (e.g., brass, aluminum, plastic)?
• Is it intended for indoor or outdoor use?
• What is the intended use (household, commercial, public space)?
