Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

8512.20Lower: 12.5% vs 17.5%

If when imported as part of complete headlamp assembly

Lamp bulbs incorporated into finished vehicle lighting sets are classified under heading 8512 as complete assemblies rather than separate lamps.

8539.21Lower: 12.6% vs 17.5%

If designed for voltage under 12V

Lower voltage filament lamps (e.g., 6V motorcycle bulbs) fall into subheading 8539.21, differentiated by electrical rating.

8539Same rate: 17.5%

If using LED technology instead of filament

Light-emitting diode (LED) light sources, even at 12-14V, are specifically excluded from filament lamp headings and classified separately.
