9405.91.60.40 - Prisms and other glass articles of a kind used in chandeliers and wall brackets, and articles thereof

This HTS category, 9405.91.60.40, specifically classifies prisms and other glass articles that are designed for use as components within chandeliers and wall brackets. These are finished or semi-finished glass pieces intended to refract, reflect, or diffuse light, thereby contributing to the decorative or functional aspects of lighting fixtures. Examples include glass pendants, bobeches, and shaped glass components that are integral to the construction or aesthetic appeal of chandeliers and wall-mounted lights.

Within the broader category of "Other" glass parts for lighting fittings, this subheading distinguishes itself by its explicit focus on glass elements destined for chandeliers and wall brackets. While its sibling, 9405.91.60.80, covers other glass articles for lighting fittings not elsewhere specified, this specific code zeroes in on those intended for these particular types of luminaires. The critical differentiator lies in the intended application of the glass article as a component of a chandelier or wall bracket, as opposed to other types of general lighting fixtures.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this heading relies on confirming that the glass article is indeed manufactured for and intended for incorporation into a chandelier or wall bracket, and that it is not specifically covered by a more precise subheading for other types of glass components.
