Black Iron Pillar Candle Lantern from Japan
A tall black iron lantern cage designed to hold pillar candles, typically used on porches or altars for rustic, non-electrical illumination. The pierced design allows light to escape, and it is made of iron, classifying it as a non-electrical lighting fitting. It falls under tariff item 9405.50.90 as 'Other' because it is not a candlestick or candelabra.

Import Tips
• 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
