9405.29 - Other:

This HTS category, 9405.29, encompasses electric luminaires intended for table, desk, bedside, or floor-standing use that are *not* designed solely for LED light sources. This distinction is crucial, as luminaires specifically designed for LED technology are classified under the sibling category 9405.21. Therefore, items falling under 9405.29 would typically utilize incandescent bulbs, halogen lamps, or other non-LED lighting technologies. The scope of this classification includes a wide array of personal and portable lighting fixtures for general illumination or task lighting within residential, office, or hospitality settings.

The "Other" designation within 9405.29 indicates that it serves as a residual category for electric table, desk, bedside, or floor-standing luminaires that do not meet the specific criteria for LED-only fixtures. This means that if a luminaire is designed for an incandescent bulb but also has the *capacity* to accept LED bulbs (though not exclusively designed for them), it would likely fall into this category, provided it doesn't meet the specific LED-only criteria of 9405.21. The physical construction, materials, and the intended primary light source technology are key factors in differentiating between these two closely related subheadings.

The subcategories within 9405.29 further refine the classification based on material composition. Specifically, the "Of base metal" designation would apply to luminaires where the primary structural components are made from metals like iron, steel, aluminum, or brass. The subsequent "Other" subcategory (9405.29.80) would then capture those electric table, desk, bedside, or floor-standing luminaires, not exclusively for LEDs, that are constructed from materials other than base metal, such as plastics, wood, glass, or a combination thereof. This hierarchical approach ensures precise classification for a diverse range of lighting products.
