9405.11.40.10 - Household

This category specifically covers chandeliers and other electric ceiling or wall lighting fittings, designed for household use, that are constructed entirely or primarily from brass. These luminaires are intended for interior illumination within residential settings and feature permanently fixed light sources. The emphasis on brass as the primary material is a key differentiator for classification within this subdivision.

Unlike the sibling category 9405.11.40.20, which encompasses "Other" base metal chandeliers and wall lights not made of brass, this category is exclusively for those crafted from brass. This distinction is crucial for accurate tariff application, as different base metals can have varying duty rates. The classification hinges on the principal material composition of the fitting's structure.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific code. Therefore, classification under 9405.11.40.10 is final for brass chandeliers and wall lighting fittings intended for household use and designed for LED light sources. Importers must ensure that the item's construction is predominantly brass to qualify for this code, and that it is not intended for public lighting purposes.
