9405.29.80.10 - Household

HTS Code 9405.29.80.10, described as "Household," falls under the broader category of electric table, desk, bedside, or floor-standing luminaires. This specific subheading is intended for household lighting fixtures that meet the general criteria of this level but are not otherwise specified by more granular subheadings. Such luminaires are designed for domestic use and typically function as general, task, or accent lighting within a residential setting. Examples include decorative table lamps, functional desk lamps, bedside lamps, and floor lamps intended for living rooms, bedrooms, or studies, provided they are not made of precious materials or metals, which would place them in other categories.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 9405.29.80.20 ("Other"), by its explicit designation for *household* applications. While both subheadings are general catch-alls for electric floor-standing, desk, table, and bedside luminaires not elsewhere specified, 9405.29.80.10 is specifically for those intended for domestic use, whereas 9405.29.80.20 would encompass similar luminaires not primarily designed or marketed for household environments, such as those for commercial or industrial settings. The classification hinges on the intended use and marketing of the luminaire.

As this subheading represents a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification decisions for goods falling under 9405.29.80.10 will be based on ensuring the luminaire fits the definition of an electric table, desk, bedside, or floor-standing luminaire and is intended for household use, while also confirming it does not meet the criteria for any preceding, more specific HTS codes within Chapter 9405, such as those made from precious metals or featuring specific decorative elements that might warrant separate classification.
