HS code for Aquarium LED light
HS 2022Destination DEConfidence 0.72Reviewed by a second modelLuminaires 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 > Other electric luminaires and lighting fittings > Other, designed for use solely with light-emitting diode (led) light sources
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
An aquarium LED light is normally sold as a complete fitting: housing, LEDs, driver and a tank-mounting bracket or clip. It is therefore a luminaire of heading 9405, not a bare light source of 8539. Chapter 94 Note 1(f) excludes only lamps and light sources of Chapter 85. It is not a ceiling or wall fitting (9405.1x), a table, desk, bedside or floor-standing luminaire (9405.2x) or a Christmas lighting string. It falls under 'other electric luminaires', and LED-only design points to 9405.42 (non-photovoltaic). If it were a bare LED tube or bulb with a cap, 8539.52 would apply instead.
Rules applied: GRI 1, GRI 6, Chapter 94 Note 1(f), Chapter 85 Note 11.

| 8539.51 | 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) modules | Applies only if the product is a bare LED module or strip without housing or mounting. |
| 9405.41 | 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 > Other electric luminaires and lighting fittings > Photovoltaic, designed for use solely with light-emitting diode (led) light sources | Applies only if the light is solar (photovoltaic) powered; there is no indication of this. |
Information that would confirm the code
- Is it a complete fitting with housing and mount, or a bare LED tube or bulb with a cap?
- Is it solar-powered?
- Is it designed solely for LED light sources (integrated LEDs)?

Confidence 0.45. The product is an LED aquarium luminaire designed for LED sources under 9405.42, but the data does not state material (plastics line 9405423100) or handmade status (9405423910), so the residual 'Other' national line 9405423990 is the only supportable choice, with reduced confidence.
