HS code for Table lamp: 9405.29

Luminaires and light fittings, electric, table, desk, bedside or floor-standing, for other than use solely with light-emitting diode (LED) light sources.

Classification of table lamp under HS 9405.29

Table lamps are classified under HS code 9405.29. This code falls within Chapter 94, which covers furniture, bedding, mattresses, and luminaires. Heading 9405 is designated for luminaires and lighting fittings, including searchlights and spotlights and parts thereof. The subheading 9405.29 specifically identifies electric table, desk, bedside, or floor-standing lamps that are not designed for use solely with light-emitting diode (LED) light sources. This classification is essential for distinguishing traditional lighting fixtures from newer LED technology. The determination depends on the lamp's primary design and the type of socket or light source it accommodates. If a lamp is designed to take incandescent, halogen, or fluorescent bulbs, it remains under 9405.29 even if an LED bulb can be fitted into the socket, provided the fixture itself is not "solely" for LED. The classification process follows GRI 1 and GRI 6, ensuring that the product's functional characteristics as a portable electric light source for indoor use are prioritized. Customs authorities look at the electrical components, the presence of a base for standing on a surface, and the overall construction to confirm it belongs in this category rather than being a permanent ceiling or wall fixture. It is important to note that the "other" category (9405.29) acts as a residual for electric lamps that do not meet the specific criteria of 9405.21 (LED). The materials used for the base or shade—whether ceramic, metal, or plastic—do not typically change the heading, provided the item remains an electric lamp. However, if the lamp is non-electric, such as an oil or candle lamp, it would be classified under 9405.50. Furthermore, lamps that are primarily decorative but still functional as luminaires are included here, provided they are not better described as ornaments under other chapters.

Codes often confused with 9405.29

Common mistake. The most common misclassification is using 9405.21, which is specifically for LED table or desk lamps. If the lamp has integrated LEDs that cannot be replaced, 9405.21 is mandatory. Another error is 9405.11, which covers chandeliers and other electric ceiling or wall lighting fittings. Table lamps must be portable and designed to stand on a surface to qualify for 9405.29.

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).
