Product classification
HS code for Solar LED lamp: 9405.41
Luminaires and light fittings, electric, photovoltaic, designed for use solely with light-emitting diode (LED) light sources.
Classification of solar LED lamp under HS 9405.41
Solar LED lamps are classified under HS code 9405.41. This code was introduced in the 2022 revision of the Harmonized System to provide a specific category for photovoltaic luminaires designed for use solely with light-emitting diode (LED) light sources. Heading 9405 covers luminaires and lighting fittings not elsewhere specified or included. The classification 9405.41 is highly specific, requiring two conditions to be met: the lamp must be photovoltaic (incorporating solar cells to convert sunlight into electricity) and it must be designed exclusively for LED technology. This classification reflects the global shift toward renewable energy and energy-efficient lighting. Before the introduction of this specific code, these products were often classified under more general subheadings like 9405.40, leading to inconsistency in trade data. By using 9405.41, customs authorities can accurately track the movement of solar-powered LED lighting systems. This code includes the entire assembly, typically comprising the solar panel, a rechargeable battery, the LED light source, and control circuitry, provided they are presented as a single functional unit or a complete kit.

Codes often confused with 9405.41
Common mistake. A common misclassification occurs when solar LED lamps are entered under 8541.42 or 8541.43, which cover solar cells and modules. However, if the product is a complete lighting fixture, it must be classified in Chapter 94. Another error is using 9405.42, which is for other LED luminaires that are not photovoltaic (i.e., they are grid-powered). Additionally, portable solar lamps that are held in the hand or used for camping might be confused with 8513.10, but 9405.41 is generally preferred for fixed or semi-permanent outdoor solar luminaires.
Top exporters and importers of HS 940541 (the code used for solar LED lamp), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 940541 (the code used for solar LED lamp) in UN Comtrade data was China, with 62% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 25% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
