About luminaires and light fittings; including searchlights, spotlights and parts thereof, n.e.c.; illuminated signs, name-plates and the like, having permanently fixed light source and parts thereof n.e.c. or included

HS code 9405 covers a diverse range of lighting products, including luminaires, searchlights, spotlights, and illuminated signs. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader economy, providing essential lighting solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. From enhancing ambiance in homes to illuminating public spaces and industrial facilities, the products under this code contribute to improved visibility, safety, and energy efficiency across various sectors.

Production process

The production of luminaires and light fittings typically involves a combination of metalworking, glass or plastic molding, and electrical assembly. Manufacturers may use techniques such as stamping, casting, or extrusion to shape the housing and structural components. The incorporation of lighting sources, such as incandescent, fluorescent, or LED bulbs, requires specialized electrical wiring and integration. Illuminated signs and nameplates often utilize similar techniques, with the addition of specialized printing or engraving processes to create the desired graphics and text.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of HS code 9405 products include various metals (such as steel, aluminum, or brass) for the housing and structural components, as well as glass, plastic, or other materials for the lenses and diffusers. Electrical components, such as sockets, wiring, and lighting sources (e.g., 8539 Electrical Lamps and Lighting Fittings), are also essential inputs. Manufacturers may also require specialized tools, machinery, and equipment for the fabrication, assembly, and finishing processes.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 9405 are luminaires, searchlights, spotlights, and illuminated signs, nameplates, and similar products. These lighting solutions are widely used in 8539 Electrical Lamps and Lighting Fittings, 8531 Electric Sound or Visual Signalling Apparatus, and 8543 Electrical Machines and Apparatus, Having Individual Functions, Not Specified or Included Elsewhere in This Chapter industries, among others. The lighting products under this code contribute to the overall illumination and visual enhancement of various environments, from residential and commercial spaces to industrial facilities and public infrastructure.
