Explore global trade with HS codes

HS Code 8513 covers portable electric lamps designed to function by their own source of energy (such as batteries, magnetos), other than lighting equipment of heading 8512. The classification distinguishes between lamps (8513.10) and parts (8513.90). This category includes self-contained illumination devices that combine light sources, power supply, and housing in portable formats. Products range from simple flashlights to sophisticated headlamps, work lights, and emergency illumination systems. Technical specifications focus on light output, beam pattern, battery life, weather resistance, and durability. Unlike fixed lighting installations, these portable units provide illumination independently of external power infrastructure, making them suitable for emergency use, mobile activities, and locations without electrical service. This division represents both everyday consumer products for household emergency preparedness and specialized equipment for professional applications in fields such as security, maintenance, construction, outdoor activities, and emergency services, providing critical illumination capabilities in diverse situations independent of fixed power sources.
