Lamps and light fittings, parts thereof, of materials other than glass or plastics.
Classification of lamp stand under HS 9405.99
A lamp stand is classified under HS code 9405.99 as a part of a lamp or lighting fitting made of materials other than glass or plastic. This classification follows the structure of heading 9405, which covers lamps and their parts. The stand is the vertical support or base that holds the lamp head and light source. Because stands are typically manufactured from base metals (like steel, brass, or aluminum), wood, or stone, they do not fit into the specific subheadings for glass (9405.91) or plastic (9405.92). Therefore, they are placed in the residual subheading 9405.99. The classification is justified by GRI 1 and Note 2 to Chapter 94, which requires parts of lighting fittings to be classified in heading 9405. The stand must be identifiable as a part of a lamp to be classified here. If the stand is imported as a separate component without the socket, wiring, or shade, it is clearly a part. Even if it is designed for a specific decorative style, the material composition remains the primary factor for the subheading selection.

Codes often confused with 9405.99
Common mistake. Lamp stands are frequently misclassified as furniture under heading 9403. While a lamp stand might resemble a small pedestal or table, its sole function is to support a light source, making it a part of a lamp rather than a piece of general furniture. Another common error is classifying metal stands under Chapter 73 (iron/steel) or Chapter 74 (copper/brass). However, the specific use as a lamp part takes precedence over the general material classification. If the stand is made of plastic, it must be classified under 9405.92, and if it is made of glass, it belongs in 9405.91. Misclassification also occurs if the stand is imported with the electrical cord and socket, in which case it might be viewed as an incomplete lamp under 9405.21 (for electric table/desk/floor lamps).

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
