8539.29.10.00 - Christmas-tree lamps

This HTS category, 8539.29.10.00, specifically covers Christmas-tree lamps. These are filament lamps designed for decorative lighting on Christmas trees, typically characterized by their small size, often low wattage, and the specialized packaging and configuration for this particular festive use. The classification is driven by the intended application and common presentation of these lamps.

Within the broader "Other filament lamps" heading and its subheadings, this code distinguishes itself from sibling categories. For instance, it is separate from lamps designed for surgical instruments (8539.29.20.00) which have very specific physical dimensions and applications. It also differs from the general "Other" category at this level (8539.29.30) which encompasses a wider range of filament lamps not otherwise specified, emphasizing the distinct, specialized nature of Christmas-tree lamps.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this code hinges on the lamp's explicit design and marketing as a Christmas-tree lamp. Importers and exporters should ensure that the goods accurately fit the description and intended use of decorative string lighting for holiday trees to correctly apply this tariff.
