9405.11.60.20 - Other

This category, HTS Code 9405.11.60.20, encompasses "Other" lighting fittings that are designed for use with LED light sources, are constructed from base metal, and are not chandeliers or other electric ceiling or wall lighting fittings specifically for public open spaces or thoroughfares. It represents a residual classification for qualifying LED lighting fixtures made of base metal, which do not fit into more specific subcategories. The key criteria for inclusion are the use of LED technology, construction from base metal, and their intended application as ceiling or wall lighting, excluding those designed for public thoroughfares.

To differentiate this category from its sibling, HTS Code 9405.11.60.10, which is classified as "Household," this "Other" category is for base metal LED ceiling or wall lighting fittings that are *not* exclusively intended for household use. This distinction hinges on the primary intended application and market for the lighting fixture. While household fittings are self-explanatory, this "Other" category would capture commercial, industrial, or institutional LED lighting fixtures that meet the other criteria of base metal construction and ceiling/wall mounting, but are not specifically designated for domestic environments.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification under HTS 9405.11.60.20 is determined by a process of elimination, ensuring that the item in question meets all the preceding hierarchical criteria (LED, base metal, ceiling/wall mounted, not for public thoroughfares) and does not qualify for the more specific "Household" classification. Importers must carefully assess the intended use and market to correctly assign goods to this residual category.
