9405.42.84.40 - Other

This HTS classification, 9405.42.84.40, encompasses "Other" electric luminaires and lighting fittings specifically designed for Light-Emitting Diode (LED) light sources, which do not fall into any more specific subcategories. It serves as a residual category for a broad range of LED lighting products that are not otherwise specified. This includes, but is not limited to, various types of LED lamps and fixtures that are not explicitly covered by more detailed descriptions within the 9405.42.84 heading.

Crucially, this category is distinct from its sibling, 9405.42.84.10, which specifically covers "Other lighting sets." While both relate to LED lighting, this category (9405.42.84.40) is for individual luminaires or fittings, whereas "lighting sets" implies a collection of interconnected lighting elements, such as pre-assembled string lights or decorative lighting arrangements. The primary distinction lies in the configuration and intended use: individual fixtures versus integrated sets.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 9405.42.84.40 is determined by the absence of a more precise classification and the adherence to the general requirements of being an electric luminaire or lighting fitting designed for LED light sources. Importers and exporters should meticulously examine the physical characteristics, intended application, and any assembly details of their goods to ensure they do not fit into a more specific HTS code before assigning them to this residual "Other" classification.
