Product classification
HS code for Wall light: 9405.19
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 wall light under HS 9405.19
Wall lights that do not utilize light-emitting diode (LED) technology are classified under HS code 9405.19. This classification is part of Chapter 94, which covers furniture, bedding, and lamps. Heading 9405 is dedicated to lamps and lighting fittings, including searchlights and spotlights. Subheading 9405.19 is a residual category for electric ceiling or wall lighting fittings that use traditional light sources such as incandescent, halogen, or fluorescent bulbs. The classification is determined by the mounting style (designed to be fixed to a wall) and the electrical nature of the fixture. To fall under this code, the product must be a complete lighting fitting, including the lamp holder and electrical wiring, even if it is imported without the actual bulbs. The materials used for the frame—such as metal, glass, or plastic—do not change the primary classification, provided the item is an electric light fitting. This code is essential for distinguishing traditional lighting technology from the newer, more energy-efficient LED alternatives.

Codes often confused with 9405.19
Common mistake. The most common misclassification is HS code 9405.11, which is specifically for LED ceiling or wall lighting fittings. With the global shift toward LED, many importers mistakenly use 9405.19 for all wall lights. Another error is using 8539, which is for the electric filament or discharge lamps (the bulbs) themselves, rather than the fixture. Finally, 9405.49 is sometimes used, but that is for non-electric lamps or other electric lamps not designed for ceiling or wall mounting.

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).
