9902.17.50 - Electric table or desk light-emitting diode (LED) task lamps, of base metal other than of brass, each incorporating a reflector designed to reflect light from the LED in the stem of the lamp (provided for in subheading 9405.20.60)

This HTS code, 9902.17.50, pertains to specific temporary duty suspensions or reductions applied to electric table or desk task lamps. The lamps must be constructed from base metal (excluding brass) and uniquely incorporate a light-emitting diode (LED) system with a reflector integrated into the stem of the lamp. These particular lamps are being classified under this temporary provision, while their base classification falls within subheading 9405.20.60. The purpose of this classification is to facilitate temporary tariff relief for these specialized lighting fixtures as determined by trade agreements or other legislative actions.

Unlike the broad range of products found in the primary HTS chapters, such as live animals in Chapter 01 or machinery in Chapter 84, Chapter 99 codes represent temporary legislation and modifications. Therefore, this category does not have direct siblings that classify similar physical goods. Instead, its "siblings" are other temporary provisions within Chapter 99, each addressing different goods subject to specific tariff treatments. The distinction lies in the product covered and the particular trade or legislative measure associated with that code.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 9902.17.50. This means that any lamp meeting the precise description – an electric table or desk LED task lamp, made of base metal (not brass), with an LED reflector in the stem – will be classified directly under this code, provided it qualifies for the temporary duty treatment it represents. The classification hinges entirely on the physical characteristics and the underlying temporary legislation linked to this specific code.
