8539.10.00.60 - Other

This HTS classification, **8539.10.00.60**, encompasses "Other" sealed beam lamp units that do not fall under the specific subheadings for vehicle lamps. Sealed beam lamp units, as defined within heading 8539, are self-contained lighting devices featuring a filament or arc discharge bulb integrated within a sealed glass envelope, often with a built-in reflector. This category is for such units where the primary design or intended use is not exclusively for vehicles specified in subheading 8539.10.00.50. Examples might include sealed beam units for industrial lighting, specialized equipment, or other applications not directly tied to automotive, motorcycle, or similar vehicle types.

The key differentiator for this category lies in its exclusionary nature. While sibling category 8539.10.00.50 specifically addresses sealed beam lamp units designed for use with certain vehicles (e.g., trucks, buses, passenger cars, motorcycles), this "Other" classification captures those sealed beam lamp units that do not meet these specific vehicle-related criteria. Therefore, when classifying a sealed beam lamp unit, it is crucial to first determine if it aligns with the vehicle-specific provisions before considering this residual category.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification decisions within this specific code rely on the precise definition of a sealed beam lamp unit and its intended application, ensuring it is not captured by the more specific vehicle-related subheading. The physical characteristics of the lamp unit, such as its construction and integrated reflector, remain primary classification factors.
