If the holder is designed for candles rather than torches
If the bracket is specifically for candles, it may be classified as a candlestick under the sibling item, but torch holders are more appropriately 'Other'.
If the holder is a simple iron stake without a lighting function
If the product is just a stake and not designed for illumination, it may be classified as an iron article under Chapter 73 rather than a lighting fitting.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm that the torch holder is not considered a part of general use under Section XV, as base metal parts may be excluded from Chapter 94 by Note 1(d)
• If the holder is designed to be placed on the ground, it qualifies under Chapter 94 Note 2, but if it is wall-mounted, it may be excluded unless it is a cupboard or shelved furniture
• Ensure the product is not classified as a weapon or tool, which would fall under other chapters
