Okay, let's break down the HS codes you've provided for your "WALL SCONCE" declarations. I'll explain each one, its meaning, and potential implications for your import process.
Understanding HS Codes: A Quick Primer
HS codes (Harmonized System codes) are internationally standardized codes used to classify traded products. They determine the import duties and taxes you'll pay. The first 6 digits are generally consistent worldwide, but countries can add more digits for further specificity.
Here's a breakdown of each HS code you provided:
1. 9405.11.40.10 – Chandeliers and other electric ceiling or wall lighting fittings, excluding those of a kind used for lighting public open spaces or thoroughfares: Designed for use solely with light-emitting diode (LED) light sources: Of base metal: Of brass Household
- 9405: Luminaires and lighting fittings including searchlights and spotlights and parts thereof. This is the broad category.
- 9405.11: Chandeliers and other electric ceiling or wall lighting fittings. More specific – focusing on ceiling/wall fixtures.
- 9405.11.40: Designed for use solely with light-emitting diode (LED) light sources. Highlights LED compatibility.
- 9405.11.40.10: Of base metal: Of brass Household. Further specifies the material (brass) and intended use (household).
- Tax: 3.9% Basic Tariff + 25% Additional Tariff (Total 58.9%). Important Note: This additional tariff is scheduled to increase to 30% after April 2, 2025, bringing the total to 62.9%.
2. 9405.49.00.00 – Other electric luminaires and lighting fittings: Other

- Tax: 3.9% Basic Tariff + 25% Additional Tariff (Total 58.9%). Important Note: This additional tariff is scheduled to increase to 30% after April 2, 2025, bringing the total to 62.9%.
3. 7020.00.60.00 – Other articles of glass: Other
- 7020: Glass articles (not elsewhere specified).
- 7020.00.60.00: Other. This suggests the glass components are not specifically defined elsewhere.
- Tax: 5.0% Basic Tariff + 25% Additional Tariff (Total 60.0%). Important Note: This additional tariff is scheduled to increase to 30% after April 2, 2025, bringing the total to 65.0%.

Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: The HS code is highly dependent on the primary material of each component. Ensure the declared material accurately reflects the product.
- Component Breakdown: If your wall sconce is made of multiple materials, you may need to declare each component separately under its appropriate HS code.
- LED Driver/Power Supply: If the LED driver/power supply is imported separately, it will have its own HS code and tariff.
- April 2, 2025 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the upcoming tariff increases. Factor these into your cost calculations.
- Country of Origin: The country of origin is crucial for determining applicable tariffs and trade agreements.
- Certifications: Depending on the destination country, you may need certifications (e.g., CE, RoHS, UL) for electrical safety and compliance.
- Valuation: The declared value of your goods is important for tariff calculation. Ensure accurate valuation.
To help me refine this further, could you tell me:
- What is the primary material of the wall sconce (e.g., brass, glass, wood, plastic)?
- Is the LED driver/power supply included with the sconce or imported separately?
- What is the destination country for these imports?
