Overview
This category, HTS Code 9405.19.80, encompasses "Other" lighting fittings that fall under the broader classification of chandeliers and other electric ceiling or wall lighting fittings. Specifically, it includes such fixtures that are not explicitly defined as being made of base metal, which is addressed in a sibling category. The scope here is for electric lighting designed for indoor use in residential, commercial, or other settings, excluding those intended for public thoroughfares or open spaces.
The distinction from the sibling category "Of base metal" is crucial. While both fall under general chandeliers and ceiling/wall lights, this subcategory serves as a residual for fixtures where the primary material is not base metal, or where base metal is present but not the defining characteristic for classification purposes. This means items constructed from other materials, such as plastics, glass, wood, or a combination thereof where no single material dominates to warrant a specific classification, would likely be found here.
Within this "Other" classification, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on end-use. The subcategories of "Household" (9405.19.80.10) and "Other" (9405.19.80.20) allow for a more granular distinction, with "Household" specifically for lighting intended for domestic dwellings. The "Other" subcategory, therefore, captures all remaining electric ceiling or wall lighting fittings that are not specifically classified as base metal or for household use, such as those for offices, retail spaces, or other commercial environments.
