HS Code 9405.92 – Lamps and light fittings; parts thereof, of plastics
HS code 9405.92 is the 6-digit subheading for lamps and light fittings, parts thereof, of plastics. It is used for plastic lamp shades, LED light diffusers, plastic lamp bases, plastic light fixture housings and plastic covers for recessed lighting.
What HS 9405.92 covers
This HS code covers parts of lamps and light fittings specifically made from plastics, playing a crucial role in the global lighting industry's supply chain. These components are essential for assembling a wide array of lighting products, from residential fixtures to commercial and industrial lighting solutions. Major importers are typically countries with robust manufacturing sectors for finished lighting products, such as China, Germany, and Mexico, where these parts are integrated into final assemblies. Exporters often include countries with strong plastics manufacturing capabilities, like China, Taiwan, and various European nations. Key things to know include the increasing demand for energy-efficient LED lighting, which drives innovation in plastic component design for heat dissipation and optical performance. The trade in these parts is influenced by material costs, technological advancements in plastics engineering, and global construction trends. The shift towards sustainable materials also impacts this sector, with a growing interest in recycled or bio-based plastics for lighting components.

Codes often confused with 9405.92
Common mistake. This code can be confused with 940599 (parts of other materials) or 392690 (other articles of plastics), especially if the part's primary function isn't clearly identifiable as a lamp component. It's crucial to ensure the part is specifically designed for a lamp or light fitting to avoid misclassification.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
