Questions
HS code 853921: common questions
What is HS code 853921?
HS code 853921 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Electric filament or discharge lamps, including sealed beam lamp units and ultraviolet or infrared lamps; arclamps; lightemitting diode (LED) lamps : Other filament lamps, excluding ultraviolet or infrared lamps : Tungsten halogen". The first two digits (85) are the chapter — Electrical machinery and equipment; sound and TV recorders and reproducers — and digits 3-4 (8539) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 853921?
Common products classified under 853921 include halogen bulb, halogen lamp, tungsten halogen lamp, halogen light and similar items matching tungsten halogen. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 853921?
Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.
Is HS code 853921 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (853921) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.
Can I trust the HS code a 1688 supplier gives me?
Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
