HS Code 9405.19 – Chandeliers and electric ceiling or wall light fittings; (excluding those used for lighting public open spaces or thoroughfares), for use other than with light-emitting diode (LED) light sources

HS code 9405.19 is the 6-digit subheading for chandeliers and electric ceiling or wall light fittings, (excluding those used for lighting public open spaces or thoroughfares), for use other than with light-emitting diode (LED) light sources. It is used for crystal chandeliers, traditional pendant lights, halogen wall sconces, fluorescent ceiling panels and incandescent flush mounts.

What HS 9405.19 covers

This HS code covers chandeliers and electric ceiling or wall light fittings designed for light sources *other than* solely LEDs, such as incandescent, halogen, or fluorescent bulbs. These fixtures are primarily for residential, commercial, or hospitality use, excluding public outdoor lighting. While the market is gradually transitioning towards LED technology, there remains significant international trade in these traditional fittings, particularly for classic designs, replacement parts, or specific aesthetic requirements where LED alternatives may not be preferred. Importers often include countries with established infrastructure or those where LED adoption is slower. Exporters leverage traditional manufacturing techniques and diverse material sourcing, including metal, glass, and crystal. Key trade factors include material quality, design complexity, electrical compatibility with various bulb types, and compliance with safety certifications. This category reflects a segment of the lighting market that values conventional aesthetics and established technology.

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).
