Led street light Hs Code

Led street light harmonized system code

Product Overview The LED street light classified under HS Code 940542 refers to outdoor lighting fixtures primarily designed for public roadways, highways, and urban street illumination. These units incorporate energy-efficient Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology, featuring durable housing materials such as die-cast aluminum with corrosion-resistant coatings to withstand environmental exposure. Typical physical specifications include wattage ratings ranging from 30W to 200W, color temperature options between 3000K and 6500K, and luminous efficacy exceeding 120 lumens per watt. The product undergoes advanced processing stages including precision die-casting, optical lens integration, and electronic driver assembly, ensuring high luminous performance, thermal management, and extended operational lifespan (often exceeding 50,000 hours). Within the HS Code 940542 classification, LED street lights fall under subcategories that distinguish fixed, pole-mounted lighting fixtures designed for outdoor use. Commercially, these lights serve critical roles in municipal infrastructure, traffic safety, and urban development projects, providing uniform illumination for pedestrian and vehicular areas. The product’s competitive advantage lies in its energy efficiency, reduced maintenance requirements, and compliance with international photometric and electrical safety standards, making it a preferred choice in global lighting markets. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The HS Code 940542 is structured as follows: Chapter 94 (Furniture; Bedding, Mattresses, Lamps and Lighting Fittings, Not Elsewhere Specified), Heading 9405 (Lamps and Lighting Fittings Including Searchlights and Spotlights and Parts Thereof, Not Elsewhere Specified or Included), and Subheading 940542 (Lighting Fittings Equipped with Electric Lamps, Excluding Those of Glass). LED street lights are classified under this subheading due to their integrated electric lamp components and outdoor application, differentiating them from indoor or glass-encased fittings. Classification rationale hinges on the fixture’s design for fixed outdoor installation, use of LED light sources as opposed to traditional lamps, and the absence of glass enclosures that would place them under alternate codes. Trade considerations emphasize packaging in sturdy, shock-resistant cartons or crates with moisture barriers to prevent electrostatic discharge and corrosion during transit. Preservation methods include anti-corrosion coatings and desiccant inclusion to maintain product integrity. Shipping typically adheres to international standards such as the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code when batteries are included. Quality standards relevant to this product encompass IEC 60598 for luminaire safety, EN 13201 for road lighting, and compliance with RoHS and CE marking directives. This ensures adherence to WTO rules and facilitates seamless customs clearance and import/export compliance worldwide.

The following are, however, to be classified in the above-mentioned headings even if they are designed to be hung, to be fixed to the wall or to stand one on the other : (a) Cupboards, bookcases, other shelved furniture (including single shelves presented with supports for fixing them to the wall) and unit furniture; (b) Seats and beds. 3.- (A) In headings 94.01 to 94.03 references to parts of goods do not include references to sheets or slabs (whether or not cut to shape but not combined with other parts) of glass (including mirrors), marble or other stone or of any other material referred to in Chapter 68 or 69. (B) Goods described in heading 94.04, presented separately, are not to be classified in heading 94.01, 94.02 or 94.03 as parts of goods.4.- For the purposes of heading 94.06, the expression “prefabricated buildings” means buildings which are finished in the factory or put up as elements, presented together, to be assembled on site, such as housing or worksite accommodation, offices, schools, shops, sheds, garages or similar buildings. Prefabricated buildings include "modular building units" of steel, normally presented in the size and shape of a standard shipping container, but substantially or completely pre-fitted internally. Such modular building units are normally designed to be assembled together to form permanent buildings.
