Section XX: Miscellaneous manufactured articles · Chapter 94: Furniture; bedding, mattresses, mattress supports, cushions and similar stuffed furnishings; luminaires and lighting fittings, not elsewhere specified or included; illuminated signs, illuminated nameplates and the like; prefabricated buildings · Heading 9405: Luminaires 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
Why this code
Solar garden lights are complete luminaires, so they fall under heading 9405, not under lamps or LED light sources of 8539, solar cells of 8541, or accumulators of 8507. They are not ceiling or wall fittings, table, desk, bedside or floor-standing luminaires, or Christmas lighting strings. Being electric, they fall under 'Other electric luminaires and lighting fittings'. HS 2022 created subheading 9405.41 specifically for photovoltaic luminaires designed for use solely with LED light sources, which matches the typical solar garden light. Some confidence is withheld because the LED light source is assumed rather than stated; a non-LED solar light would go to 9405.49.
Rules applied: GRI 1, GRI 6, Chapter 94 Note 1(f).

| 8539.52 | Electric filament or discharge lamps, including sealed beam lamp units and ultraviolet or infra-red lamps; arc-lamps; light-emitting diode (led) light sources > Light-emitting diode (led) light sources > Light-emitting diode (led) lamps | Covers LED lamps with a cap as replaceable light sources, not complete luminaires. |
Information that would confirm the code
- Is the light source exclusively LED?
- Is the unit wall-mounted rather than a stake or ground light?

Confidence 0.45. The product is a finished solar garden luminaire with LED source, not an LCD backlight module, and no base metal material is stated, so the base-metal lines do not apply; the product data gives no indication of a lighting set, so the residual 'Other' line 9405418440 is taken with lowered confidence.
