Product classification
HS code for Ceiling light: 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.
Classification of ceiling light under HS 9405.19
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.

Codes often confused with 9405.19
Common mistake. 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.

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).
