Alternative Classifications

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

8539.22Lower: 12.6% vs 37.4%

If tungsten halogen filament type

Filament lamps (incandescent) use heated wire, not electrical arc discharge, shifting to a different subheading.

9002.90Lower: 10% vs 37.4%

If when supplied as part of optical microscope

Lamps integral to or presented with microscopes classify as parts of optical instruments under Chapter 90.

9405.42.60Higher: 41% vs 37.4%

If for LED retrofit in general lighting fixtures

If designed for household/office illumination rather than UV/arc, it falls under lighting fittings with LEDs.
