HS Code for Ceiling light

Ceiling lights, including chandeliers and other electric ceiling or wall light fittings, are classified under HS code 9405.19. This classification is located in Chapter 94, which covers furniture, bedding, and lamps. Heading 9405 is dedicated to luminaires and lighting fittings. Following the 2022 updates to the Harmonized System, a distinction was made between light sources. Subheading 9405.11 is now used for lights designed for use solely with light-emitting diode (LED) light sources. Consequently, 9405.19 is the residual category for ceiling and wall lights intended for use with non-LED sources, such as incandescent, halogen, or fluorescent bulbs. This classification applies to the physical fixture itself, whether or not it is presented with bulbs at the time of import. The determination depends on the socket type and the manufacturer's intended light source compatibility.

Products Included

• Crystal chandeliers for incandescent bulbs
• Flush-mount ceiling fixtures for halogen lamps
• Fluorescent tube wall fittings
• Pendant lights with E26/E27 screw bases
• Traditional brass or metal ceiling lamps

Common Misclassification

The most frequent misclassification occurs with HS code 9405.11. Since the 2022 HS update, any ceiling light designed for LED sources must be classified under 9405.11. Using 9405.19 for an LED-integrated fixture is now a common error. Additionally, specialized lights for public spaces or thoroughfares are excluded from this code and are classified under 9405.41 or 9405.42. Importers must also distinguish between the fixture (9405) and the individual bulbs (8539), especially if they are shipped separately.
