Names come in English where the EU Combined Nomenclature publishes them — chapters, headings and subheadings, whose first six digits are the same Harmonized System; deeper EAEU detail is a machine translation, marked as such. Official texts — tariff notes, measures, lists and classification rulings — are the original: customs and your broker go by that wording. Where we show a machine translation of them, it is marked; where our quality check rejected one, the Russian stays.
Machine translation. The original is the Russian text of the EAEU tariff, and customs goes by it; this translation is for understanding only and has no legal force.
This is the base rate. A tariff quota, a preference for the country of origin and a tariff exemption lower it; anti-dumping and special duties are paid on top of it
EEC Council Decision No. 80 of 14.09.2021
None: russian bans and restrictions, dual use, EAEU non-tariff regulation, trade defence measures — duty on top of the tariff, tariff quota.
Whether a measure applies to your goods depends on their characteristics and the shipping documents
Exempt if it is a medical device on the exemption list. Otherwise 22%.

Electrical lamps and lighting fittings of this heading may be equipped with lamp-holders, switches, flex and plugs, transformers, etc., or, as in the case of fluorescent strip fixtures, a starter or a ballast. This heading covers in particular: (1) Lamps and lighting fittings normally used for the illumination of rooms, e.g.: hanging lamps; bowl lamps; ceiling lamps; chandeliers; wall lamps; standard lamps; table lamps; bedside lamps; desk lamps; night lamps; water-tight lamps. (2) Lamps for exterior lighting, e.g.: street lamps; porch and gate lamps; special illumination lamps for public buildings, monuments, parks. (3) Specialised lamps, e.g.: darkroom lamps; machine lamps (presented separately); photographic studio lamps; inspection lamps (other than those of heading 8512); non-flashing aerodrome beacons; shop window lamps; electric garlands (including those fitted with fancy lamps for carnivals or entertainment or for decorating Christmas trees).

These throw a concentrated beam of light (usually adjustable) over a distance to illuminate a given point or surface by means of a reflector and lenses or of a reflector only. The reflectors are generally of silvered glass or of polished, silvered or chromium-plated metal. The lenses are generally plano-convex or stepped (Fresnel lenses). Searchlights are used in particular for anti-aircraft defence, and spotlights for stage settings and in photographic and film studios. (II) ILLUMINATED SIGNS, ILLUMINATED PLATES BEARING A NAME OR TITLE, OR AN ADDRESS, AND SIMILAR ARTICLES
This category covers advertising lamps, illuminated signs, illuminated plates bearing a name or title, or an address (including road signs) and similar articles, such as advertising boards and house numbers of any material, provided they have a permanently built-in light source.

The heading also excludes: (a) candles (heading 3406); (b) resin torches (heading 3606); (c) signs, name-plates, address-plates and similar articles, unlit or lit by a light source which is not built in (heading 3926, Chapter 70, heading 8310, etc.); (d) printed globes with interior lighting, of heading 4905; (e) lamp wicks of woven, plaited or knitted materials (heading 5908); (f) glass beads and small ornamental glass shapes (e.g., fringes) made up of glass beads or bugles strung together, for decorating lampshades (heading 7018); (g) electrical lighting or signalling equipment for cycles and motor vehicles (heading 8512); (h) electric filament lamps, discharge lamps (including sealed beam lamp units and ultra-violet or infra-red lamps, as well as tubes of various intricate shapes, such as scrolls, letters, figures, stars, etc.), arc-lamps and light-emitting diode (LED) lamps (heading 8539);
