HS Code 940550

HS code 940550 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Lamps and lighting fittings including searchlights and spotlights and parts thereof, not elsewhere specified or included; illuminated signs, illuminated nameplates and the like, having a permanently fixed light source, and parts thereof not elsewhere specified or included : Nonelectrical lamps and lighting fittings". The first two digits (94) are the chapter — Furniture; bedding, mattresses; lamps and lighting fittings; prefab buildings — and digits 3-4 (9405) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 940550 include oil lamp, kerosene lamp, gas lamp, non-electric lamp, candle lamp and similar items matching nonelectrical lamps and lighting fittings. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

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.

The first 6 digits (940550) 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.

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.
