Classification of LED wall light under HS 9405.11
LED wall lights are classified under HS code 9405.11. This code covers chandeliers and other electric ceiling or wall light fittings that are designed for use solely with light-emitting diode (LED) light sources. The classification is determined by the mounting method—specifically designed to be fixed to a wall or ceiling—and the integrated LED technology. These fixtures are intended for permanent installation in residential, commercial, or public buildings. The classification excludes lights used for lighting public open spaces or thoroughfares, which fall under different subheadings. To be classified here, the product must be a complete luminaire, meaning it includes the housing and the LED light source or is designed to only accept LED lamps. This code reflects the international effort to categorize lighting by both its physical application and its energy-efficient light source.

Codes often confused with 9405.11
Common mistake. The most common misclassification is HS code 9405.42, which is a "catch-all" category for other LED luminaires. While 9405.42 is for LED lights, 9405.11 is more specific for fixtures that are permanently fixed to walls or ceilings. Another common mistake is using 9405.21, which is reserved for portable LED lamps such as table, desk, or bedside lamps. If a wall light is designed for outdoor public thoroughfares, it must be classified under 9405.42 or 9405.11 depending on the specific regional customs interpretation, though 9405.11 generally excludes public space lighting.

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).
