Chapter 85 covers electric motors, electrical equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories thereof. This chapter has an extremely broad scope, ranging from household appliances to industrial electronic equipment, but excludes certain specific items (such as insulated wires, optical fiber cables, etc.). The core characteristic is that goods must have an electrical or electronic function. Heading 8539 covers various electric filament lamps, discharge lamps (including sealed beam lamp units) and arc lamps. Specifically includes incandescent lamps, halogen lamps, fluorescent tubes, metal halide lamps, high-pressure sodium lamps, LED lamps, etc. However, it excludes unfinished glass envelopes for lamps, LED chips (classified under 8541) and luminaires (classified under 9405). First 2 digits 85: Chapter 85, electric motors, electrical equipment and parts thereof. Digits 3-4: 39: Heading 8539, electric filament lamps, discharge lamps. Digits 5-6: 74: Subheading 8539.74, referring to krypton filament lamps of a power not exceeding 200W and a rated voltage exceeding 100V. Krypton filament lamps are a type of incandescent lamp in which the glass envelope is filled with krypton gas to suppress tungsten filament evaporation and improve luminous efficiency. This subheading only covers krypton lamps of specific specifications; lamps with other gases or power ratings are classified under other subheadings. The goods are krypton-filled incandescent lamps, which are electric light sources and conform to the description of heading 8539. Since their power is ≤200W and rated voltage is >100V, they are classified under subheading 8539.74. If the power exceeds 200W or the voltage is ≤100V, they would be classified under other subheadings; if they are LED lamps, they would be classified under 8539.50; if they are halogen lamps, they would be classified under 8539.21, etc.

Product Name: The specific name of the declared goods, which should accurately reflect the lamp type, such as "krypton incandescent lamp". Avoid using general names such as "lamp". Use: Describe the usage scenario of the lamp, such as "for lighting", "for signal indication", etc. It must be consistent with the actual function. Brand: Fill in the brand or manufacturer name of the lamp; if there is no brand, fill in "no brand". It must be consistent with the actual product. Model: Fill in the model or specification code of the lamp, such as "KRY-100". If there is no model, fill in "no model". Power: Fill in the rated power of the lamp in watts (W). A specific value must be given, such as "100W". Rated Voltage: Fill in the rated voltage of the lamp in volts (V). A specific value must be given, such as "220V". Gas Fill Type: State the type of gas filled into the lamp, such as "krypton". This is a key element distinguishing it from other incandescent lamps. Base Type: Fill in the lamp base interface type, such as "E27", "E14", etc. This helps confirm the product specifications. Product Name: Krypton incandescent lamp; Use: For indoor lighting; Brand: PHILIPS; Model: KRY-100; Power: 100W; Rated Voltage: 220V; Gas Fill Type: Krypton; Base Type: E27. Failure to specify the gas fill type as krypton, leading to classification errors. Inaccurate filling of power or voltage, which may affect subheading determination. Brand and model inconsistent with the actual product, which may trigger customs scrutiny.

The core criteria for classification are: 1. Whether the goods are electric lamps; 2. Whether the lamp is filled with krypton gas; 3. Whether the power is ≤200W; 4. Whether the rated voltage is >100V. Only when all the above conditions are met can it be classified under 8539.74. If the power is >200W or the voltage is ≤100V, it is classified under other subheadings; if it contains other gases (such as argon, nitrogen) or is vacuum, it is classified under 8539.71 or 8539.72, etc. 8539.71 Other incandescent lamps: This subheading covers incandescent lamps not filled with krypton or filled with other gases, with no restriction on power and voltage. If the lamp is filled with argon or is vacuum, it is classified under this subheading. 8539.72 Other incandescent lamps: This subheading covers incandescent lamps with power ≤200W but voltage ≤100V. If the lamp voltage is 12V, even if filled with krypton, it is classified under this subheading. 8539.50 LED lamps: This subheading covers light-emitting diode lamps, regardless of power and voltage. If the goods are LED lamps, even if they look similar, they are classified under this subheading. 8539.21 Halogen lamps: This subheading covers halogen incandescent lamps filled with halogen gas (such as iodine, bromine). If the lamp is filled with halogen gas, it is classified under this subheading, not krypton. 9405.40 Electric luminaires: This subheading covers luminaires and lighting fittings, such as pendant lights, desk lamps. If the goods are complete luminaires rather than individual lamps, they are classified under this subheading. Confirm whether the goods are individual electric lamps rather than luminaires. Confirm whether the lamp is filled with krypton gas. Confirm whether the lamp power is ≤200W. Confirm whether the lamp rated voltage is >100V. Confirm whether it is not an LED or halogen lamp.

How do I determine whether my krypton lamp should be classified under 8539.74 or another subheading? First confirm that the lamp is an incandescent lamp filled with krypton, then check whether the power is ≤200W and the rated voltage is >100V. If both are met, it is classified under 8539.74; if the power is >200W or the voltage is ≤100V, it is classified under another subheading. It is recommended to check the product specification sheet. What is the difference in HS codes between krypton lamps and argon lamps? Krypton lamps, if they meet the power and voltage conditions, are classified under 8539.74; argon lamps are classified under 8539.71 (other incandescent lamps). The gas fill types differ, so the classification differs. The gas fill type must be specified when declaring. If my lamp is an LED but looks similar to a krypton lamp, how should it be classified? LED lamps should be classified under 8539.50, regardless of whether their appearance is similar to krypton lamps. Classification is based on the light-emitting principle, not appearance. Be sure to declare according to the actual technical type. Can a krypton lamp with a rated voltage of 12V be classified under 8539.74? No. 8539.74 requires a rated voltage exceeding 100V. A 12V krypton lamp should be classified under 8539.72 (other incandescent lamps, power ≤200W and voltage ≤100V). Please check the voltage parameters. Is it sufficient to fill in the power as "100W" when declaring? Yes, but ensure the power value is accurate and consistent with the actual product. If the power is a range, fill in the maximum or typical value and note it. It is recommended to provide the specification sheet for customs verification. Is the HS code for krypton lamps uniform globally? The first 6 digits of the HS code are uniform internationally, but countries may make adjustments in subsequent digits. 8539.74 is an internationally common 6-digit subheading. Specific countries may extend it to 8 or 10 digits, so the local tariff schedule must be consulted. How do I check the import tariff rate for krypton lamps? First determine the complete HS code of the goods (such as the first 6 digits 8539.74), then check the customs tariff schedule or tariff database of the target country. Tariff rates change, so it is recommended to obtain the latest information through official channels or professional consultants. If the lamp has a power of 200W, a voltage of 220V, and is filled with krypton, does the classification change? A power of 200W meets the condition of "not exceeding 200W", the voltage of 220V is >100V, and it is filled with krypton, so it is still classified under 8539.74. Note that "not exceeding" includes equal to 200W.
