Find HS Code and trade information for LIGHT STRING

Here's a classification breakdown for "LIGHT STRING" based on the provided reference data. Given the broad nature of the term, several HS codes could apply.

• 9405310010: Luminaires and lighting fittings… Lighting strings of a kind used for Christmas trees: Designed for use solely with light-emitting diode (LED) light sources Miniature series wired sets.

  • 94: Chapter 94 – Furniture; bedding, mattresses, support, cushioning and similar furnishings; lamps and lighting fittings, not elsewhere specified or included; signboards, nameplates and the like; prefabricated buildings.
  • 05: Specifically for luminaires and lighting fittings.
  • 31: Christmas tree lights.
  • 00: Further specifies miniature series wired sets.
  • Applicability: This is the most likely HS code if the light string is specifically designed for Christmas trees and uses LED lights in a series-wired configuration.

• 9405310040: Luminaires and lighting fittings… Lighting strings of a kind used for Christmas trees: Designed for use solely with light-emitting diode (LED) light sources Other.

  • 94: Chapter 94 – Furniture; bedding, mattresses, support, cushioning and similar furnishings; lamps and lighting fittings, not elsewhere specified or included; signboards, nameplates and the like; prefabricated buildings.
  • 05: Specifically for luminaires and lighting fittings.
  • 31: Christmas tree lights.
  • 40: Covers other Christmas tree lights using LED.
  • Applicability: Use this code if the light string is for Christmas trees with LEDs but doesn't fall into the "miniature series wired sets" category.

• 8539293060: Electrical filament or discharge lamps… Other filament lamps, excluding ultraviolet or infrared lamps: Other: Designed for a voltage not exceeding 100 V: Other Other: Other.

  • 85: Chapter 85 – Electrical machinery and equipment.
  • 39: Specifically for electrical lamps.
  • 29: Other filament lamps.
  • 30: Further specifies lamps designed for voltage not exceeding 100V.
  • 60: Other lamps.
  • Applicability: If the light string is composed of individual LED lamps (not pre-assembled into a string) and operates at 100V or less, this code might be applicable.

• 8539520091: Electrical filament or discharge lamps… Light-emitting diode (LED) light sources: Light-emitting diode (LED) lamps Other.

  • 85: Chapter 85 – Electrical machinery and equipment.
  • 39: Specifically for electrical lamps.
  • 52: Light-emitting diode (LED) light sources.
  • 00: Further specifies LED lamps.
  • 91: Other LED lamps.
  • Applicability: If the light string consists of individual LED lamps, this code is a strong possibility.

Tax Rates (as per reference):

• 9405310010 & 9405310040: Base Duty: 8.0%, Additional Duty: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Duty: 30%. Total: 63.0%
• 8539293060: Base Duty: 0.0%, Additional Duty: 7.5%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Duty: 30%. Total: 37.5%

Important Considerations:

• LED vs. Other Light Sources: The HS code heavily depends on whether the light string uses LED lights or another type of light source.
• Assembly: Is the light string a pre-assembled unit, or is it a collection of individual lamps?
• Voltage: The voltage of the light string is crucial for code 8539293060.
• Intended Use: Confirm the primary purpose of the light string (Christmas trees, decoration, etc.).

Recommendation:

To determine the most accurate HS code, please provide the following information:

1. Light Source Type: (LED, incandescent, etc.)
2. Voltage: (e.g., 12V, 24V, 110V, 220V)
3. Assembly Details: Is it pre-assembled or individual lamps?
4. Intended Use: What is the light string primarily used for?
