8539.52.00.40 - Of a type specified in statistical note 7(d) to this chapter

This HTS category, 8539.52.00.40, specifically covers light-emitting diode (LED) lamps that fall under the purview of statistical note 7(d) to Chapter 85. This designation implies that these LED lamps possess particular characteristics or functionalities that differentiate them for statistical tracking purposes. Examples within this subcategory could include specialized LED lamps used in applications not otherwise detailed in adjacent statistical notes, such as certain types of indicator lamps, decorative lighting, or lamps with integrated control circuitry that meets the criteria of note 7(d).

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While 8539.52.00.10, .20, and .30 are defined by their adherence to statistical notes 7(a), 7(b), and 7(c) respectively, and .51 and .91 cover specific physical forms or catch-all "other" categories, 8539.52.00.40 is precisely defined by the criteria outlined in statistical note 7(d). Understanding the specific technical requirements or application nuances stipulated by statistical note 7(d) is the primary determinant for classifying an LED lamp into this subcategory.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification within 8539.52.00.40 is on ensuring the LED lamp precisely meets the criteria established by statistical note 7(d). Importers and exporters must consult the detailed text of statistical note 7(d) to Chapter 85 to confirm the specific technical specifications, intended use, or other defining features that warrant classification under this particular HTS code. This ensures that these specialized LED lamps are correctly identified and reported for trade statistics.
