8539.52.00.30 - Of a type specified in statistical note 7(c) to this chapter

This HTS category, 8539.52.00.30, specifically covers light-emitting diode (LED) lamps that fall under the criteria defined in statistical note 7(c) to Chapter 85. These are sophisticated lighting devices designed for various applications, distinguished by their use of semiconductor technology to produce light. The inclusion in this specific sub-classification is determined by detailed statistical notes that delineate specific technical or functional attributes of the LED lamps.

This classification is differentiated from its sibling categories by the specific statistical note referenced. For instance, 8539.52.00.10 and 8539.52.00.20 cover LED lamps defined by statistical notes 7(a) and 7(b) respectively, suggesting different design or performance parameters. Similarly, 8539.52.00.40 pertains to LED lamps under statistical note 7(d). The sibling categories 8539.52.00.51 and 8539.52.00.91 represent distinct physical forms (straight linear or U-shaped tubes) and residual "other" categories, respectively, highlighting that 8539.52.00.30 is a specific designation based on statistical note 7(c) rather than a particular shape or general exclusion.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification relies solely on the precise adherence to the criteria outlined in statistical note 7(c) for LED lamps. Classification professionals must carefully consult this statistical note to determine if an LED lamp meets the specific technical or performance requirements that place it within this precise sub-heading, ensuring accurate customs declaration and duty assessment.
