These subheadings exclude lighting strings that are not designed to be mainly used for a Christmas tree and that are intended to be used for various decorative purposes throughout the year, for example, for decorating houses, balconies, wedding party locations, gardens or for decorating smaller items such as a wreath, a flowerpot or a table.
Also, lighting strings with lamps designed as e.g. pumpkins or hearts do not fall under this subheading, because the lamps do not have any connection with Christmas.
