Last updated: August 2026 dataJapan leads US supply of these residual-category filament lamps — which exclude ultraviolet and infrared types — followed by China, Slovakia, Taiwan, and Mexico. The heading captures a technically diverse range: miniature glass-envelope lamps with envelopes no larger than 6.35 mm in diameter (8539292000), flashlight lamps (8539293020), automotive-range lamps in the 12–14V band (8539293050), and a broad residual line for lamps above 100V (8539294000). Japan's prominence here reflects its strength in precision miniature and specialty lamp manufacturing for automotive, instrumentation, and industrial end uses. Importers should confirm whether goods meet the specific voltage and envelope-size thresholds that separate these lines from the higher-voltage heading 853922.

401 shipments/mo
Line 8539292000 is reserved for lamps whose glass envelope diameter does not exceed 6.35 mm and whose voltage is below 100V. These are typically used in instrumentation, indicator panels, and precision equipment. Lamps that exceed either the diameter or voltage threshold must be classified elsewhere in the heading or under heading 853922.
Japan's leadership reflects its established manufacturing base for precision miniature and automotive-grade lamps, where tight dimensional tolerances and quality certifications are required. These products serve instrumentation, medical equipment, and automotive applications where Japanese suppliers have long-standing OEM relationships with US buyers.
