U.S. imports of LED Photovoltaic Luminaires & Lighting Fittings (HS 940541) totaled $40.6M in August 2026, imported from 65 countries.
Importers of LED Photovoltaic Luminaires & Lighting Fittings paid $7.9M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 19.48% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. LED Photovoltaic Luminaires & Lighting Fittings imports of $40.6M in August 2026 ran 15% below the year-to-date monthly average of $47.8M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataPhotovoltaic luminaires integrate solar energy collection with LED light output, making them a distinct product class from grid-powered fixtures and subject to classification considerations that touch both the lighting and solar equipment chapters. Vietnam leads US supply for this heading, followed by China and Cambodia. The US schedule includes brass-bodied (9405414000) and base-metal (9405416000) variants alongside specialized lines for LED backlight connectors mounted on printed circuits (9405418200) and other photovoltaic lighting sets (9405418410, 9405418440), so the presence of printed circuit board assemblies can shift classification to a more specific tariff line.

Classification as a photovoltaic luminaire under 940541 applies when the solar cell is an integral component of a complete lighting fitting — the product's essential character is illumination, with the PV element serving as the power source. Standalone solar panels, solar charge controllers, or solar kits sold separately from the luminaire would be classified elsewhere. CBP's essential character analysis looks at the product as presented, including packaging and marketing.
Line 9405418200 covers LED backlight connectors mounted on printed circuits within the photovoltaic luminaire category. This specificity matters because products with integrated PCB assemblies may otherwise be pulled toward Chapter 85 electrical component headings. Importers of solar LED modules with embedded circuit boards should obtain a binding ruling or consult a licensed customs broker to confirm the correct classification before large-volume shipments.
