9405.91.60 - Other

This HTS category, 9405.91.60, encompasses "Other" parts of luminaires and lighting fittings made of glass, that are not specifically categorized elsewhere within the "Of glass" sub-group. This includes a variety of glass components used in lighting fixtures that do not fall under the specific descriptions of chimneys or globes and shades. The key characteristic for classification here is that these are glass parts designed for use in lighting, and their form or function does not align with more narrowly defined categories.

While the sibling category 9405.91.40.00 specifically covers "Chimneys," which are glass components designed to protect a flame or bulb and direct light, this category addresses all other glass parts. It distinguishes itself from globes and shades by not including the primary diffusing or decorative enclosures that form the main visual element of a luminaire. The focus here is on auxiliary or specialized glass components.

This category further subdivides into two subcategories, 9405.91.60.40 and 9405.91.60.80, to allow for more specific classification. 9405.91.60.40 details prisms and other glass articles specifically designed for chandeliers and wall brackets, recognizing the unique decorative and light-refracting properties of such items. The residual category, 9405.91.60.80, then captures any remaining glass parts not fitting the specific description of prisms or other chandelier/wall bracket articles, ensuring all glass parts of luminaires are accounted for.
