HS Code for Floor lamp

Floor lamps are classified under HS code 9405.29, which pertains to electric luminaires and lighting fittings designed to stand on the floor. This code is part of Chapter 94, which encompasses furniture, bedding, and lamps. Specifically, 9405.29 is a residual category for electric lamps that are not designed for use solely with light-emitting diode (LED) light sources. The classification depends on the physical design (floor-standing) and the intended light source. These items are distinguished from ceiling or wall-mounted fixtures by their base and portable nature. The materials used for the stand, such as wood, metal, or plastic, do not change the primary classification under 9405.29, as the function as a floor-standing electric light source is the defining characteristic. This classification ensures that decorative and functional portable lighting is grouped separately from fixed building installations.

Common Misclassification

The most common misclassification occurs with LED floor lamps, which are now specifically classified under HS code 9405.21 following recent updates to the Harmonized System. Additionally, floor lamps are sometimes incorrectly placed in heading 9403 (General Furniture), but heading 9405 is the more specific heading for lighting. Another error involves classifying them under 9405.11 or 9405.19, which are reserved for chandeliers and other electric ceiling or wall lighting fittings.
