9405.21.40 - Of brass

This HTS category, 9405.21.40, specifically classifies electric table, desk, bedside, or floor-standing luminaires that are designed for exclusive use with light-emitting diode (LED) light sources and are constructed primarily from brass. These luminaires are intended for general lighting purposes within a domestic or commercial environment, with their material composition being the defining characteristic at this level.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 9405.21.60 ("Other"), is the explicit requirement that the luminaire be manufactured from brass. While the sibling category also covers electric table, desk, bedside, or floor-standing luminaires designed for LED light sources, it encompasses those made from materials other than brass, such as steel, aluminum, or plastics.

The subcategories under 9405.21.40 further refine the classification based on the intended application. Subcategory 9405.21.40.10 covers household luminaires, indicating those primarily intended for residential use. The "Other" subcategory, 9405.21.40.20, would include brass luminaires of this type not specifically designated for household applications, such as those for commercial offices or public spaces.
