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 chandelier under HS 9405.19
Chandeliers are classified under HS code 9405.19, which covers electric ceiling or wall light fittings, excluding those used for lighting public open spaces or thoroughfares. The classification of lighting fixtures underwent significant changes in the 2022 HS nomenclature update to distinguish between light sources. Subheading 9405.19 is specifically reserved for fixtures designed for use with non-LED light sources, such as incandescent, halogen, or fluorescent bulbs. To fall under this code, the chandelier must be a permanent fixture intended for mounting on a ceiling or wall. The classification is based on the primary function of the article as a decorative and functional lighting unit. If the chandelier is imported without bulbs, its classification depends on the type of sockets or the intended light source specified in the technical documentation.

Codes often confused with 9405.19
Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification occurs with HS code 9405.11, which is specifically for chandeliers and fittings designed for use with light-emitting diode (LED) light sources. With the global shift toward LED technology, many modern chandeliers now fall under 9405.11 rather than 9405.19. Another error involves classifying glass or crystal components of a chandelier separately under 7018.10; however, if these parts are imported as a complete, unassembled fixture, they must be classified under 9405.19. Additionally, non-electric chandeliers (e.g., for candles) are classified under 9405.50.

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).
