About HS Code 853990

This HS code serves as a catch-all for parts of the lamps falling under heading 8539. This includes components specifically identifiable as being solely or principally for use with various types of lamps, such as lamp bases, glass envelopes (without the light-emitting element), reflectors, electrodes, and other non-electrical or passive structural components. It is crucial for the manufacturing, assembly, and repair of lamps across the entire spectrum of lighting technologies. International trade in these parts supports the global lamp manufacturing and repair industries, ensuring the availability of components for both new production and maintenance of existing lighting systems. Importers are typically lamp assembly plants, repair services, and specialized component distributors. Exporters are often specialized component manufacturers, frequently co-located with major lamp production hubs.

Products Under This Code

Lamp bases (E27, GU10), glass bulbs/envelopes, lamp filaments (unmounted), lamp electrodes, lamp reflectors, lamp caps, lamp holders (if considered part of the lamp itself), lamp seals

Real World Examples

E27 screw bases, GU10 lamp holders, quartz glass envelopes for HID lamps, tungsten filaments, ceramic lamp bases, lamp lead-in wires

Common Misclassification

This code is for parts *of* lamps, not the light-emitting elements themselves (e.g., raw LEDs are 853951, not 853990). It's also distinct from electrical components of general use (e.g., resistors, capacitors) which fall under other headings.
