Import Tips

• Ensure the lamp is not designed as an integral part of an e-reader or book, which could lead to classification elsewhere

• If the lamp includes a USB charging cable, the cable may be classified separately under heading 85.44

• Verify the lamp's weight and portability to confirm it does not fall under heading 94.05 for fixed lighting
