HS Code for LED array

LED arrays and modules are classified under HS code 8539.51. This code was introduced to provide a specific category for Light-Emitting Diode (LED) light sources that are more than just a single diode but less than a finished luminaire. An LED array typically consists of multiple LED chips mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) or a substrate, often including electrical components like resistors or connectors to facilitate integration into a lighting fixture. The classification under 8539.51 is appropriate when the product is a module intended to be the light source for a lamp or light fitting. This distinguishes it from individual diodes and from finished lamps that are ready for end-use by a consumer.

Products Included

• COB (Chip-on-Board) LED arrays
• LED light engine modules
• Flexible LED strips for lighting applications
• LED backlight units for signage
• Multi-diode LED modules for street lighting

Common Misclassification

LED arrays are frequently misclassified under 8541.41, which is reserved for individual, discrete light-emitting diodes. Once multiple diodes are combined on a circuit board with other components, they move to 8539.51. Another common error is classifying these modules under 9405, which covers finished lamps and lighting fittings. If the product lacks a housing, protective glass, or a final power supply/plug, it is usually a module (8539.51) rather than a finished fixture (9405).

FAQ

What is the HS code for LED array?

The HS code for LED arrays and modules used as light sources is 8539.51.

Does this code include LED light bulbs?

No, finished LED lamps (bulbs) with a base (like E27 or GU10) are classified under HS code 8539.52, while the modules inside them are 8539.51.
