About HS Code 853661
This HS code specifically covers lamp-holders designed for low-voltage applications, typically for voltages not exceeding 1000 volts. These devices are essential components in various lighting fixtures, providing both the electrical connection and mechanical support for light bulbs, ensuring safe and reliable operation. They are widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial lighting systems, from simple household lamps to complex industrial luminaires. Importers and exporters include lighting fixture manufacturers, electrical wholesalers, and construction material suppliers. Key considerations for trade are the lamp base type (e.g., E27, GU10, G13), material (e.g., ceramic, plastic), current and voltage ratings, and mounting method, which must align with regional standards.
