Chapter 94 covers furniture, bedding, lamps, prefabricated buildings, etc. The lighting goods in this chapter include various lighting devices with electric or non-electric light sources, such as chandeliers, wall lamps, desk lamps, street lamps, etc., as well as illuminated signs, illuminated nameplates, etc. Wall lamps, as indoor lighting fixtures, are typical goods of this chapter. Heading 9405 covers various lamps and lighting devices, including chandeliers, wall lamps, desk lamps, floor lamps, street lamps, spotlights, floodlights, etc., as well as illuminated signs, illuminated nameplates and similar articles. This heading includes both electric (such as LED, incandescent) and non-electric (such as kerosene lamps, gas lamps). Wall lamps, as lighting fixtures fixedly mounted on walls, are classified under this heading. Code 940540 has 6 digits: the first 2 digits "94" represent Chapter 94 (furniture; bedding; lamps; prefabricated buildings, etc.). Digits 3-4 "05" represent heading 9405 (lamps and lighting devices not elsewhere specified or included). Digits 5-6 "40" represent subheading 940540 (other electric lamps and lighting devices). This subheading covers electric lamps and lighting devices not specifically named, and wall lamps are classified under 940540 because they are not specified in subheadings such as 940510 (chandeliers), 940520 (desk lamps, bedside lamps), etc. Wall lamps are classified under 940540 because they are electric lighting devices and are not specifically named in subheadings such as 940510 (chandeliers), 940520 (desk lamps, bedside lamps), 940530 (lighting sets for Christmas trees), etc. Wall lamps are usually fixed to walls for indoor lighting or decoration, which conforms to the description of 940540 "other electric lamps and lighting devices," and therefore are not classified under 940510 or 940520.

Product Name: The specific name of the declared commodity should be accurately described as "wall lamp" or "wall lighting fixture," avoiding the general term "lamp." Use: Explain the main use of the wall lamp, such as indoor lighting, decoration, reading, etc., as well as the place of use (such as home, hotel, corridor). Material: Declare the main material of the lamp body (such as metal, plastic, glass, ceramic) and the lampshade material; material affects classification and regulatory conditions. Brand: Fill in the brand name (if no brand, fill in "no brand"); brand is important information for customs intellectual property protection. Model: Fill in the product model or specification to facilitate customs identification and statistics. Light Source Type: Explain the light source type, such as LED, incandescent, fluorescent, etc., and whether it is replaceable. Power: Fill in the rated power (such as 5W, 10W); power affects energy efficiency and regulatory requirements. Voltage: Fill in the rated voltage (such as 110V, 220V); voltage is an important parameter for electrical safety. Product Name: Wall Lamp; Use: Indoor wall lighting, used in hotel guest rooms; Material: Iron lamp body, glass lampshade; Brand: XYZ; Model: WL-2023; Light Source Type: LED, replaceable; Power: 5W; Voltage: 220V. Misclassifying wall lamps under 940510 (chandeliers), resulting in differences in tax rates and regulatory conditions. Not declaring the light source type, which may affect energy efficiency regulation and classification. False brand declaration, which may trigger intellectual property infringement risks.

Core basis for classification: Wall lamps are electric lighting devices and are not specifically named in other subheadings of heading 9405. According to GIR 1 and 6, they should be classified under 940540. Note the difference between wall lamps and chandeliers and desk lamps: chandeliers are suspended from ceilings, desk lamps are placed on tabletops, and wall lamps are fixed to walls. 940510 Chandeliers: Chandeliers are suspended from ceilings for general lighting; wall lamps are fixed to walls, usually for local lighting or decoration. 940520 Desk lamps, bedside lamps: Desk lamps and bedside lamps are placed on tabletops or bedside tables and are movable; wall lamps are fixed to walls and are not movable. 940530 Lighting sets for Christmas trees: Lighting sets for Christmas trees are specially used for Christmas tree decoration; wall lamps are fixed lighting devices with a different use. 940550 Non-electrical lamps: Non-electrical lamps such as kerosene lamps and gas lamps; wall lamps are usually electric, so they are classified under 940540. 8539 Electric light sources: 8539 covers light bulbs, tubes and other light sources themselves; wall lamps are complete lighting devices including light source and lamp body. Is it fixedly mounted on a wall? Does it use electrical energy as the light source? Is it not named in subheadings such as 940510, 940520? Does it include a complete lamp body (not just the light source)? Is it used for lighting or decoration?

What is the difference in HS codes between wall lamps and chandeliers? Wall lamps are classified under 940540, and chandeliers under 940510. The main difference lies in the installation method: wall lamps are fixed to walls, and chandeliers are suspended from ceilings. Classification should be judged according to the actual installation method and must not be confused. How to check the import tax rate for wall lamps? Import tax rates must be checked according to the customs tariff of the destination country/region. For example, China's MFN rate for imported wall lamps can be checked through the Import and Export Tariff of the People's Republic of China, or by using the tariff inquiry system of the General Administration of Customs. Note that tax rates may vary due to trade agreements. Is CCC certification required when declaring wall lamps? In China, wall lamps are lighting electrical appliances and may involve CCC certification. This depends on the product type and use. It is recommended to confirm before import whether they are in the CCC catalogue and obtain the corresponding certification to avoid affecting customs clearance. Is there any difference in classification between LED wall lamps and traditional wall lamps? There is no difference; both are classified under 940540. HS codes are based on function rather than light source technology. As long as it is a wall lamp that emits light using electrical energy, whether LED or incandescent, it is classified under the same subheading. What information needs to be declared when exporting wall lamps to the United States? When exporting to the United States, the HTSUS code must be declared. Wall lamps correspond to 9405.40.84 (other electric lamps and lighting devices). When declaring, information such as product name, material, use, brand, model, light source type, power, etc. must be provided, and UL certification may be required. Are wall lamps and mirror lamps classified the same? Mirror lamps are usually also a type of wall lamp and are classified under 940540. However, if the mirror lamp is combined with a mirror as one unit, it may be classified as furniture or a mirror, and judgment should be based on the main function. Which HS code should solar wall lamps be classified under? Solar wall lamps are still classified under 940540 because they are essentially electric lighting devices. However, note that if they include solar panels, 8541 for solar cell modules may also need to be considered, but the classification of the complete machine is still mainly based on the lighting device. Among the declaration elements for wall lamps, which are most prone to errors? Common errors include: incorrectly declaring wall lamps as chandeliers or desk lamps, not indicating the light source type, omitting brand and model, and non-specific material descriptions. It is recommended to fill in each item strictly according to customs requirements to ensure accurate classification.
