Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the product is a conventional flashlight
Flashlights are specifically classified in subheading 8513.10.10, while this item covers other portable lamps.
If the light is designed as a toy or for amusement
Articles of Chapter 95 are excluded from Section XVI by note 1(p), so a toy-like light would be classified there.
