Black Iron Pillar Candle Lantern
A tall black iron lantern cage designed to hold pillar candles, typically used on porches or altars for rustic, non-electrical illumination.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the lantern is designed primarily as a candlestick or candelabra
The sibling item covers candlesticks and candelabras, which may apply if the lantern's primary function is holding candles in a candelabra-style arrangement.
If the lantern is part of a prefabricated building or modular unit
Prefabricated buildings, including modular units, are classified under heading 94.06, but this only applies if the lantern is integrated into such a structure.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify that the lantern is not considered a 'prefabricated building' or part of a structure, as that would shift classification to heading 94.06
• If the lantern is designed to be hung, note that Chapter 94 Note 2 allows seats and beds to be classified even if hung, but this does not apply to lanterns; ensure it is placed on the ground or floor
• Keep commercial invoices with detailed product descriptions to facilitate CBSA clearance
