Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified as high-pressure mercury lamps without halides
Pure mercury vapor lamps (no metal halides) fall under 8539.22, distinguished by gas fill composition.
If for fluorescent mercury discharge lamps
Low-pressure mercury lamps for fluorescence are in 8539.31, separate from high-pressure metal halide.
If when imported as semiconductor-based LED retrofit replacements
LED lamp modules using diodes rather than gas discharge classify under 8541 for semiconductor devices.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide ballast compatibility certificates as metal halide lamps require specific electronic ballasts
• Label wattage, color temperature (e.g
• 4000K), and CRI clearly for customs verification
• Avoid pitfall of bulk packaging without individual protections leading to damage claims
