What HS 9405.11 covers

This specific HS code covers chandeliers and electric ceiling or wall light fittings designed exclusively for LED light sources, intended for indoor or private outdoor use, rather than public open spaces. The international trade in these luminaires is experiencing rapid growth due to the global shift towards energy-efficient and sustainable lighting solutions. Importers are typically developed nations and rapidly urbanizing economies seeking modern, long-lasting, and environmentally friendly lighting for residential, commercial, and hospitality sectors. Exporters are often countries with advanced manufacturing capabilities in electronics, optics, and lighting design, particularly in Asia and Europe. Key trade considerations include energy efficiency ratings, design aesthetics, smart home integration capabilities, and compliance with stringent electrical safety standards (e.g., UL, CE). The market is characterized by continuous technological advancements and evolving design trends.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
