8539.22.40.00 - Christmas-tree lamps

HTS code 8539.22.40.00 specifically classifies Christmas-tree lamps. These are a type of electric filament lamp designed for decorative illumination during the Christmas season. Key characteristics include their relatively low wattage, typically not exceeding 200 W, and their operation at voltages greater than 100 V. The defining feature of this subcategory is their intended use and common appearance as string lights or individual bulbs intended for decorating Christmas trees and other seasonal displays.

This classification distinguishes Christmas-tree lamps from other filament lamps within the broader 8539.22 category. While sibling category 8539.22.80 covers "Other" filament lamps within the same power and voltage parameters, this code is reserved for the specific application of festive illumination. Unlike general-purpose incandescent bulbs or specialized lamps, Christmas-tree lamps are primarily characterized by their decorative function and often smaller size and design suited for creating a festive ambiance.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 8539.22.40.00 relies on the explicit identification of the lamp's purpose as being for Christmas tree decoration and its adherence to the specified electrical characteristics (power not exceeding 200 W and voltage exceeding 100 V).
