Product classification
HS code for Solar LED light: 9405.41
Luminaires and light fittings, electric, photovoltaic, designed for use solely with light-emitting diode (LED) light sources.
Classification of solar LED light under HS 9405.41
HS code 9405.41 was introduced to specifically address the growing market for photovoltaic (PV) luminaires designed for use solely with light-emitting diode (LED) light sources. Classification here requires the unit to be a complete light fitting that incorporates both the LED source and the solar panel (photovoltaic cells) as an integrated system. This code reflects the technological shift towards sustainable lighting solutions. The primary factor for this classification is the "electric" nature of the luminaire and its reliance on PV technology for power, distinguishing it from traditional grid-connected LED lights. The unit must be designed to function as a light; if the solar panel is separate and merely provides power to a battery that is not part of the light fixture during transport, classification may differ. This code ensures that integrated green energy lighting products are tracked accurately in international trade statistics.

Codes often confused with 9405.41
Common mistake. Solar LED lights are often misclassified under 9405.42 (other LED luminaires) or 9405.11 (LED chandeliers). Before the 2022 HS update, they were often placed in the generic 9405.40. Another error is classifying them under 8541.43 if the solar panel is the most prominent component, but as a functional light, 9405.41 takes precedence.
Top exporters and importers of HS 940541 (the code used for solar LED light), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 940541 (the code used for solar LED light) 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.
Figures cover everything classified under HS 940541, not only solar LED light.

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).
