The new list includes “Ballasts for discharge lamps or tubes”, “Electrical lighting equipment of a kind used on bicycles”, and “flashlights”.
Other new items on the new tariff list include “Electrical filament lamps of a power not exceeding 200 W and for a voltage exceeding 100 V nesoi, excluding ultraviolet and infrared lamps”, “Electrical filament lamps, voltage not exceeding 100 V, having glass envelopes n/o6.35 mm in diameter, suitable in surgical instruments”, “Electrical filament lamps nesoi, designed for a voltage not exceeding 100 V,excluding ultraviolet and infrared lamps”, and “Light-emitting diode (LED) lamps”.
