Led lights harmonized system code

Product Overview LED lights classified under HTS 9405.49 are finished electric lamps and lighting fittings that utilize light-emitting diode (LED) sources as their primary light-emitting element. These items comprise complete luminaires or fixed fittings incorporating LED modules, drivers (integral or remote), heat sinks (typically aluminum), optical diffusers (polycarbonate or glass), and mounting hardware. Key characteristics include rated power (commonly 1 W–200 W per unit), luminous flux (from ~100 lm for lamps up to >30,000 lm for high-bay/flood luminaires), correlated color temperature (CCT 2,700–6,500 K), color rendering index (CRI 70–95), rated lifetime (≥25,000–100,000 hours), input voltage ranges (e.g., 12/24 V DC, 120–277 VAC), and IP ingress protection classes (IP20–IP68). Processing levels range from complete factory-assembled luminaires to componentized modules and retrofit lamps. For customs classification and commercial purposes, subcategories within 9405.49 are typically broken down by form factor (bulb, panel, strip, downlight, floodlight, high-bay), mounting (surface, recessed, pendant), and functional attributes (dimmable/non‑dimmable, integral battery, emergency/standard). Primary commercial applications include residential, retail, commercial offices, manufacturing/warehouse high bays, street and area lighting, signage and architectural installations. HTS Code Classification & Trade Specifications HTS structure: Chapter 94 (Articles of chapter 94: Furniture; bedding; lamps and lighting fittings), Heading 9405 (Lamps and lighting fittings; illuminated signs, and parts thereof), Subheading 9405.49 (Other electric lamps and lighting fittings). Classification rationale: finished luminaires incorporating LED sources are electrically operated lighting fittings, permanently or semi-permanently assembled with optical and thermal management components and therefore fall under 9405.49 when not specifically excluded by other HTS provisions (e.g., portable electric lamps classified elsewhere). Trade considerations address packaging—individual units cartonized with shock-absorbing inserts, anti‑static bags for LED modules, desiccants and moisture-barrier inner liners; palletization with stretch-wrap and proper unitization; declaration of net/gross weights, carton dimensions, units per carton and country of origin on commercial invoice and packing list. Shipping constraints include temperature extremes, ESD precautions, and battery/air transport regulations if integrated batteries present. Relevant quality standards for import compliance include IEC 60598, UL 1598/UL 8750, IES LM‑79/LM‑80 photometric and lumen maintenance testing, IP ratings, RoHS/REACH, and applicable ENERGY STAR or DLC listings.

Led lights Chapter Note

1.- This Chapter does not cover : (a) Pneumatic or water mattresses, pillows or cushions, of Chapter 39, 40 or 63; (b) Mirrors designed for placing on the floor or ground (for example, cheval-glasses (swing-mirrors)) of heading 70.09; (c) Articles of Chapter 71; (d) Parts of general use as defined in Note 2 to Section XV, of base metal (Section XV), or similar goods of plastics (Chapter 39), or safes of heading 83.03; (e) Furniture specially designed as parts of refrigerating or freezing equipment of heading 84.18; furniture specially designed for sewing machines (heading 84.52); (f) Lamps or light sources and parts thereof of Chapter 85; (g) Furniture specially designed as parts of apparatus of heading 85.18 (heading 85.18), of headings 85.19 or 85.21 (heading 85.22) or of headings 85.25 to 85.28 (heading 85.29); (h) Articles of heading 87.14; (ij) Dentists' chairs incorporating dental appliances of heading 90.18 or dentists' spittoons (heading 90.18); (k) Articles of Chapter 91 (for example, clocks and clock cases); (l) Toy furniture or toy luminaires and lighting fittings (heading 95.03), billiard tables or other furniture specially constructed for games (heading 95.04), furniture for conjuring tricks or decorations (other than lighting strings) such as Chinese lanterns (heading 95.05); or (m) Monopods, bipods, tripods and similar articles (heading 96.20). 2.- The articles (other than parts) referred to in headings 94.01 to 94.03 are to be classified in those headings only if they are designed for placing on the floor or ground. 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.
