Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the lantern is designed as a candlestick or candelabra
If the product is primarily a candle holder rather than a wick-based oil lantern, the sibling item for candlesticks may apply.
If the lantern is a toy or miniature replica
Toy furniture and toy luminaires are excluded from Chapter 94 by Note 1(l), so a toy version would fall under heading 95.03.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm that the lantern is not classified as a lamp of Chapter 85, as electrical components would change the heading; this product is purely non-electrical
• Since it is portable and designed for camping, ensure it is not considered a toy under heading 95.03, which would apply if it were a miniature or play item
• Provide a material safety data sheet if the oil reservoir is included, as CBSA may require it for hazardous goods
