U.S. imports of electrical lampholders for voltage not exceeding 1,000 v (HS 853661) totaled $2.8M in May 2026, traded with 31 countries.
Importers of Electrical Lampholders for Voltage Not Exceeding 1,000 V paid $535K in duties in May 2026 — an effective duty rate of 24% on $2.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: May 2026 dataLampholders rated at or below 1,000 V are a foundational component in lighting assemblies across residential, commercial, and industrial applications, providing the mechanical and electrical interface between a lamp and its circuit. Imports enter under a single US tariff line (8536610000) and are subject to Section 301 tariffs when sourced from China, which leads supply by a wide margin. Mexico is the second-ranked supplier, making USMCA origin qualification a meaningful cost consideration for importers sourcing from North American manufacturing operations. Correct classification hinges on distinguishing lampholders from related socket and connector types covered elsewhere in heading 8536.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Lampholders are specifically designed to receive and retain a lamp (bulb) while making electrical contact, and classify under 853661. General-purpose sockets and connectors that are not lamp-specific fall under 853669. The physical design — including the lamp-retention mechanism and contact configuration — is the key classification criterion.
Yes. Lampholders imported from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs in addition to the standard MFN duty rate. Importers should confirm the applicable Section 301 list and any exclusion orders with a licensed customs broker before entry.
