9405.19.60 - Other

This HTS category, 9405.19.60, specifically covers "Other" electric ceiling or wall lighting fittings, not elsewhere specified or included, that are constructed primarily from base metal. These are distinct from the more specific sibling category of "Of brass" (9405.19.40), which is reserved for chandeliers and other fittings where brass is the predominant base metal. This category encompasses a broader range of base metal constructions, including but not limited to steel, aluminum, iron, and other non-precious base metals, used in the manufacturing of these lighting fixtures.

The scope of this classification extends to decorative and functional lighting designed for interior use in residential, commercial, or industrial settings. Importantly, it excludes lighting fittings intended for public open spaces or thoroughfares. The key differentiator for this classification is the material composition, focusing on articles where the primary structural component is a base metal other than brass.

Within this classification, further distinctions are made to refine the categorization of these base metal lighting fittings. The subcategories, "Household" (9405.19.60.10) and "Other" (9405.19.60.20), provide for a granular level of classification based on the intended end-use of the lighting fixture. The "Household" subcategory is for fittings designed for domestic environments, while the "Other" subcategory captures fittings for non-household applications, allowing for more precise tracking and duty assessment of imported goods.
