HS Code for LED floor lamp

The classification of an LED floor lamp under HS code 9405.21 is determined by its primary function as a luminaire and its physical design for floor-standing use. According to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) 1 and 6, products are classified based on the terms of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes. Chapter 94 specifically covers furniture, bedding, and luminaires. Heading 9405 encompasses lamps and lighting fittings not elsewhere specified. Within this heading, the 2022 Harmonized System updates introduced specific subheadings for LED technology. Subheading 9405.21 is reserved for electric table, desk, bedside, or floor-standing luminaires designed solely for use with light-emitting diode (LED) light sources. This classification applies regardless of the material of the frame (metal, wood, or plastic), provided the integrated light source or the intended source is LED. The distinction is made because these items are finished goods ready for end-use in a domestic or commercial environment, rather than being individual components or light sources themselves.

Common Misclassification

LED floor lamps are frequently misclassified under HS code 9405.29, which is the residual category for other electric table, desk, bedside, or floor-standing luminaires. However, 9405.29 is only appropriate for lamps using non-LED sources, such as halogen or incandescent bulbs. Another common error is using 9405.11, which is dedicated to chandeliers and other electric ceiling or wall lighting fittings. While 9405.11 also specifies LED use, it is restricted to fixtures that are fixed to a wall or ceiling, whereas 9405.21 is strictly for portable, standing units. Importers must also avoid 8539.52, which covers the LED bulbs themselves rather than the complete floor-standing fixture.

FAQ

What is the HS code for LED floor lamp?

The correct HS code for an LED floor lamp is 9405.21, which covers electric floor-standing luminaires designed for use with LED light sources.

Does this code include lamps that can use both LED and halogen bulbs?

If the luminaire is designed with a standard socket (like E26) that can accept various bulb types, it may be classified under 9405.29. However, if it is marketed and designed specifically for LED use, 9405.21 is the primary classification.
