HS 9405 — Luminaires and lighting fittings
Covers luminaires and lighting fittings and their parts — the heading most LED and decorative lighting is classified under.
What falls under HS 9405?
Products commonly classified under this heading include:
- LED desk lamps
- ceiling and pendant lights
- string / fairy lights
- floor lamps
- illuminated signs
These are examples, not a classification ruling. The exact code — and your duty rate — depend on the finished product and your destination country.
What moves your duty rate?
For goods under HS 9405, the rate you pay usually turns on:
- whether the lamp is LED vs other technology
- whether it is imported as a complete fitting or as parts
- the material of the housing
- destination country and any trade remedies
Duties vary widely by the full commodity code and destination. This page is a starting point — verify the rate with your customs broker before you commit.
Estimate your landed cost
Once you have a duty rate from your broker or the tariff schedule, put it into the landed-cost calculator with your product cost and freight to see the all-in number per unit. For the category-specific questions — supplier checks, compliance, freight — see the buyer's guide: Importing lighting from China.

What HS heading do LED lamps fall under?
Most complete LED luminaires and lighting fittings are classified under heading 9405. The exact statistical code and duty rate depend on the type of fitting and your destination country — confirm with your broker.
Are LED components classified the same as finished lamps?
Not always. LED modules or parts can fall under different headings than a complete fitting. Classification turns on what is actually imported, so describe the finished product and its parts to get it right.
