Alternative Classifications

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

9405.50.40.00Higher: 43.5% vs 40.4%

If designed for use with butane rather than propane

Butane-operated incandescent lanterns are classified separately under a different subheading within the same non-electrical luminaire category.

7321.90Lower: 12.5% vs 40.4%

If imported as a basic metal stove without lighting mantle or incandescent components

Without the lighting fittings, it may be seen as just a gas stove or range rather than a luminaire.

9405.99.40Higher: 43.5% vs 40.4%

If parts like replacement mantles or burners are imported separately

Individual parts of luminaires are classified under heading 9405.99, not as complete units.
