Chapter 94 covers furniture, bedding, lamps, prefabricated buildings, etc. Goods in this chapter are mostly related to the functional arrangement of indoor and outdoor spaces, including various lighting fixtures and their parts and accessories. It should be noted that this chapter only includes finished lamps and dedicated parts, and does not include general electrical components (such as switches, plugs) or general articles made of materials such as glass or plastics, unless they are clearly dedicated to lamps. Heading 9405 includes various lamps and lighting fixtures, such as chandeliers, table lamps, street lamps, Christmas tree lights, etc., as well as parts not elsewhere specified. This heading covers both complete lamps and dedicated parts, but parts must satisfy both: 1) they are used for lamps; 2) they are not specifically named in other headings. Therefore, general parts such as standard screws and wires are not classified under this heading. The first 2 digits "94" represent Chapter 94 (furniture; bedding; lamps; prefabricated buildings, etc.). The 3rd-4th digits "05" represent heading 9405 (lamps and lighting fixtures and parts thereof). The 5th-6th digits "60" are subheading 9405.60, specifically referring to "parts of lamps". Note: there are multiple subheadings under 9405, such as 9405.10 for chandeliers, 9405.20 for electric lamps and lighting fixtures, 9405.40 for other electric lamps and lighting fixtures, and 9405.60 specifically for parts. Therefore, 940560 applies only to dedicated parts of lamps not named in other subheadings. The goods are parts of lamps, not complete lamps. Complete lamps should be classified under subheadings such as 9405.10 to 9405.40. At the same time, the parts must be dedicated to lamps and not specifically named in other headings (such as electrical parts in Chapter 85). If the parts are general electrical components (such as LED modules, ballasts), they may be classified under Chapter 85. Therefore, 940560 is a residual subheading specifically set for parts of lamps.
Chapter
Chapter 94 covers furniture, bedding, lamps, prefabricated buildings, etc. Goods in this chapter are mostly related to the functional arrangement of indoor and outdoor spaces, including various lighting fixtures and their parts and accessories. It should be noted that this chapter only includes finished lamps and dedicated parts, and does not include general electrical components (such as switches, plugs) or general articles made of materials such as glass or plastics, unless they are clearly dedicated to lamps.
Heading
Heading 9405 includes various lamps and lighting fixtures, such as chandeliers, table lamps, street lamps, Christmas tree lights, etc., as well as parts not elsewhere specified. This heading covers both complete lamps and dedicated parts, but parts must satisfy both: 1) they are used for lamps; 2) they are not specifically named in other headings. Therefore, general parts such as standard screws and wires are not classified under this heading.
Digit Breakdown
The first 2 digits "94" represent Chapter 94 (furniture; bedding; lamps; prefabricated buildings, etc.). The 3rd-4th digits "05" represent heading 9405 (lamps and lighting fixtures and parts thereof). The 5th-6th digits "60" are subheading 9405.60, specifically referring to "parts of lamps". Note: there are multiple subheadings under 9405, such as 9405.10 for chandeliers, 9405.20 for electric lamps and lighting fixtures, 9405.40 for other electric lamps and lighting fixtures, and 9405.60 specifically for parts. Therefore, 940560 applies only to dedicated parts of lamps not named in other subheadings.
Classification Basis
The goods are parts of lamps, not complete lamps. Complete lamps should be classified under subheadings such as 9405.10 to 9405.40. At the same time, the parts must be dedicated to lamps and not specifically named in other headings (such as electrical parts in Chapter 85). If the parts are general electrical components (such as LED modules, ballasts), they may be classified under Chapter 85. Therefore, 940560 is a residual subheading specifically set for parts of lamps.

Common Mistakes：
Mistakenly classifying general parts (such as screws, wires) under 940560, when they should actually be classified under Chapter 73 or Chapter 85.
Mistakenly declaring complete lamps as parts, leading to incorrect subheading.
False declaration of material, such as declaring plastic parts as metal parts, affecting classification.
🎯 Classification Logic
Core basis for classification: 1) whether the goods are dedicated parts of lamps; 2) whether they are specifically named in other headings. If the parts are general electrical components (such as LEDs, resistors), they should be classified under Chapter 85; if they are glass lamp shades, consideration should be given to whether Chapter 70 is more specific. Only when the parts are dedicated to lamps and not named in other headings should they be classified under 940560. 940510 Chandeliers and other electric ceiling or wall lighting fittings: 940510 is for complete lamps, while 940560 is for parts. If the imported item is an unassembled chandelier component, classification depends on whether it constitutes a complete lamp. 940540 Other electric lamps and lighting fittings: 940540 covers other complete lamps, such as table lamps and street lamps. If the imported item is a complete table lamp, it should be classified under this code, not as a part. 853990 Parts of electric light sources: 853990 is for parts of electric light sources (such as LED bulbs), while 940560 is for parts of lamps (lighting fixtures). The key distinction is whether the part is used for a bulb or a lamp. 701399 Other glassware: If a glass lamp shade is not dedicated to lamps, it may be classified under 701399. However, a glass lamp shade dedicated to lamps is still classified under 940560. 854370 Other electrical equipment: If the part is a general electrical module, such as an LED driver, it may be classified under 854370. It is necessary to determine whether it is dedicated to lamps. Is the part dedicated to lamps? Is it specifically named in other headings? Is it a complete lamp? Does the material affect classification? Is it a general electrical part?
