Find HS Code and trade information for clip lamp

Okay, let's break down the classification and potential import considerations for your "CLIP LAMP". Based on the information provided, here's a detailed analysis:

CLIP LAMP - HS Code Classification & Import Guide

The system has returned three potential HS codes for your product. We'll analyze each one, and I'll provide recommendations.

Understanding HS Codes (Harmonized System Codes)

HS codes are internationally standardized codes used to classify traded products. The first two digits generally indicate the chapter, the first four digits the heading, and the first six digits the subheading. Let's look at how this applies to your lamp:

• Chapter 94: Furniture; bedding, mattresses, supportings, cushioning, lamps and lighting fittings, not elsewhere specified or included; mirrors, glass, and articles of glass not elsewhere specified or included. This is the broad category your lamp falls into.

1. HS Code: 9405 - 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.

• 94.05: This heading covers a wide range of lamps and lighting fittings. It's a general classification.
• Tax Information: The system indicates "Failed to retrieve tax information" and "Error" for total tax. This means we cannot rely on this code for accurate tax calculations at this time. Further investigation is needed.

2. HS Code: 94.05.10.00 - CLIP LAMP - Request failed with status code 500 indicates an issue with this lighting product.

• 94.05.10: This is a more specific subheading within luminaires and lighting fittings. However, the "Request failed with status code 500" message suggests there might be an issue with the product data or the system's ability to classify it accurately. This code is likely unreliable in its current state.

3. HS Code: 9405.29.80.20 - Luminaires and lighting fittings including searchlights and spotlights and parts thereof, not elsewhere specified or included; Electric table, desk, bedside or floor-standing luminaires: Other: Other Other

• 94.05.29: Specifically for electric table, desk, bedside, or floor-standing luminaires. This seems like the most accurate classification for a "CLIP LAMP" assuming it falls into one of these categories.
• 94.05.29.80: "Other" within the electric luminaires category.
• 94.05.29.80.20: Further specification of "Other Other".
• Tax Information:
  • Basic Tariff: 3.9%
  • Additional Tariff: 25.0% (current)
  • Additional Tariff (after April 2, 2025): 30.0%
  • Total Tax: 58.9% (This is a significant tax rate, so accuracy is crucial).

Recommendations & Next Steps:

1. Confirm Product Category: Is your "CLIP LAMP" definitively a table, desk, bedside, or floor-standing lamp? If not, HS Code 9405.29.80.20 is likely incorrect.
2. Material Composition: The material of the lamp (metal, plastic, glass, etc.) can influence the tariff rate. Provide details on the primary materials used.
3. Single Function vs. Multifunction: Does the lamp have any additional functions (e.g., USB charging port, speaker)? This could affect classification.
4. Detailed Product Specification: Provide a full product specification sheet, including dimensions, wattage, voltage, and any certifications it holds (CE, RoHS, etc.).
5. Verify Tax Rates: Crucially, independently verify the tax rates (3.9% basic, 25%/30% additional) with a customs broker or the relevant import authority in your country. Tax laws are subject to change.
6. Consider Certifications: Depending on your destination country, you may need certifications like CE (Europe), RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), or other safety standards.
7. Consult a Customs Broker: I strongly recommend consulting a licensed customs broker in your country. They can provide definitive classification, accurate tax calculations, and guidance on import procedures.
