Overview
Category 9405 encompasses a wide array of luminaires and lighting fittings, including specialized types like searchlights and spotlights, as well as their constituent parts. This classification also extends to illuminated signs, nameplates, and similar articles that feature a permanently affixed light source, again including any associated parts not elsewhere specified. The core characteristic uniting these items is their function as light-emitting devices or components thereof, designed for illumination or aesthetic display.
Unlike sibling categories within Section XX, which cover diverse manufactured articles such as furniture (Chapter 94) or articles of apparel, Chapter 9405 is specifically dedicated to lighting apparatus. Within Chapter 94 itself, while other headings might describe furniture or bedding, 9405 isolates the essential lighting components and complete fixtures, regardless of whether they are integrated into furniture or standalone items.
The subcategories within 9405 offer further refinement based on the type of luminaire and its power source. These include distinct classifications for chandeliers and ceiling/wall fittings, portable electric luminaires such as table, desk, and floor lamps, and specialized items like Christmas tree lighting strings. Furthermore, separate provisions exist for other electric luminaires, non-electrical lighting fittings, illuminated signs and nameplates, and crucially, for parts of these various lighting articles, enabling detailed classification based on specific product characteristics and intended use.
