Christmas Tree Lighting Strings (Non-LED) imports of $11.4M in July 2026 ran 466% above the year-to-date monthly average of $2.0M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataHoliday lighting strings for Christmas trees that are not designed exclusively for LED sources — covering incandescent and other conventional lamp technologies — fall under this heading, separate from their LED counterparts at 940531. Cambodia and the Philippines are the leading suppliers, with Indonesia and China also prominent, reflecting a supply base concentrated in Southeast Asia. The US schedule mirrors the LED structure with miniature (9405390010) and other (9405390040) set distinctions, and importers should note that any Section 301 exposure on Chinese-origin goods makes origin documentation especially important when supply chains span multiple Southeast Asian countries.

Each product type must be classified and entered separately under its correct heading — LED strings under 940531 and non-LED strings under 940539. Mixed shipments require line-item breakouts on the commercial invoice and entry summary. Lumping both types under a single HTS code risks a CF-28 request for information or a formal protest.
Given that Cambodia, the Philippines, and Indonesia are leading suppliers but some production involves components or semi-finished goods from China, a detailed certificate of origin and, where applicable, a manufacturer's affidavit tracing substantial transformation is critical. CBP has scrutinized transshipment in the lighting category, so supply chain transparency — including factory audit records and production records — is a practical risk-management step.
