Import Tips
• Verify the lamp's base and structural components are predominantly brass (over 50% by weight) to qualify under this subheading; provide material test certificates if audited
• Ensure UL or ETL certification for electrical safety to avoid CBP holds; include wiring diagrams in documentation
• Avoid classifying as parts if shade is permanently attached; separate shades may fall under 9405.99
