The top of each candlestick features a brass fitted receptacle specifically designed for holding either a pillar or taper candle.

The applicable subheading for the five candlesticks, SKU# 9457342, 9457359, 9457367, 9457375 and 9458746 will be 9405.50.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for "Lamps and lighting fittings...: Non-electrical lamps and lighting fittings: Other: Other."
