Overview
This HTS category, 9405.11.60, specifically covers "Other" lighting fittings that are chandeliers or other electric ceiling or wall lighting fittings, designed for LED light sources, and constructed of base metal, but not made of brass. The "Other" designation signifies that this subcategory includes a wide array of base metal ceiling and wall lighting fixtures that do not fall under more specific material designations like brass at this level. These are typically intended for general illumination within enclosed spaces rather than for specialized public areas.
The distinction from its sibling category, 9405.11.40 (Of brass), is solely based on the primary base metal composition. While both are base metal fixtures for ceiling or wall mounting and utilize LED technology, this code excludes those predominantly manufactured from brass, focusing on other common base metals such as steel, aluminum, or iron alloys. This differentiation allows for precise tariff application based on the material constituents.
Within this category, further subdivision exists to refine the classification based on the intended use. The subcategories, 9405.11.60.10 (Household) and 9405.11.60.20 (Other), differentiate fixtures intended for residential applications from those designed for commercial, industrial, or other non-household purposes. This granular breakdown aids in accurate customs processing by acknowledging the different end-user markets these lighting fittings serve.
