9405.42.84 - Other

This HTS code, 9405.42.84, encompasses a broad category of "Other" electric luminaires and lighting fittings specifically designed for use with Light-Emitting Diode (LED) light sources, which are not elsewhere specified or included. This classification serves as a residual category for LED lighting products that do not fit into more specific subheadings within the 9405.42 series. It covers a wide array of lighting fixtures and assemblies where the primary illuminating component is an LED.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 9405.42.82.00, is crucial. While the sibling specifically addresses LED backlight modules designed for liquid crystal displays (LCDs), HTS 9405.42.84.00 is intended for LED lighting products that are not solely backlights for displays. This includes standalone luminaires, decorative lighting, task lighting, and general illumination fixtures that utilize LEDs as their light source, excluding the specialized application of display backlighting.

Within this "Other" category, two principal subcategories exist to provide further granularity. Subcategory 9405.42.84.10 covers "Other lighting sets," which are typically modular or interconnected arrangements of LED lights intended for decorative or ambient purposes, often sold as a unit. The remaining items not classified as lighting sets fall under 9405.42.84.40, also designated as "Other." This final subdivision captures all other miscellaneous LED luminaires and lighting fittings that do not conform to the specific criteria of lighting sets or the preceding sibling categories.
