U.S. exports of lasers (other than laser diodes) (HS 901320) totaled $111.0M in July 2026.
Importers of Lasers (Other Than Laser Diodes) paid $7.7M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 11% on $72.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataGas, solid-state, fiber, and excimer lasers — any laser technology except semiconductor laser diodes — fall under a single US tariff line, 9013200000, making precise product classification critical when a shipment mixes laser types. These lasers serve industrial cutting and welding, medical procedures, scientific research, and defense applications, each with distinct power and wavelength specifications that affect end-use licensing considerations. Germany and the United Kingdom are the leading suppliers to the US market, reflecting Europe's deep precision-optics manufacturing base, with Japan also a significant source.

Laser diodes are semiconductor devices classified under Chapter 85 as electronic components. Lasers under 9013200000 are complete laser instruments — gas, solid-state, fiber, or excimer types — where the lasing medium is not a semiconductor diode. If a product integrates a laser diode as a component within a larger optical instrument, the classification of the finished article governs.
Certain laser products originating from specific countries may be subject to Section 301 tariffs depending on origin and end-use configuration. Importers should verify the applicable additional duty status at the time of entry, as trade-remedy coverage can change. Consulting a licensed customs broker is advisable for shipments from affected origins.
