U.S. imports of Light-Emitting Diode (LED) Lamps (HS 853952) totaled $104.6M in August 2026, imported from 53 countries.
Importers of Light-Emitting Diode (LED) Lamps paid $14.3M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 13.87% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataChina dominates US imports of LED lamps — the complete, socket-ready replacement for incandescent and fluorescent sources — with Thailand, Honduras, Vietnam, and Cambodia also supplying meaningful volumes. The US schedule is unusually granular for this heading, with lines defined by statistical notes that capture lamp types by form factor and application, plus a dedicated line for straight linear and U-shaped tube LEDs (8539520051) that directly replace fluorescent T8 and T12 tubes in commercial and industrial fixtures. Chinese-origin LED lamps are subject to Section 301 tariffs, driving sourcing diversification to Southeast Asia and Central America; Honduras's presence reflects assembly operations serving US retail lighting programs. DOE and FTC regulations governing lamp efficacy labeling and the Lighting Facts label apply to LED lamps sold in the US market.

These lines correspond to lamp type categories defined by statistical notes in Chapter 85, which the Census Bureau uses to track trade flows by lamp form factor and application. While the statistical note classification does not change the duty rate, incorrect reporting can trigger CBP data-quality reviews and complicate post-entry audits. Importers should map their product specifications to the applicable note category — covering factors such as base type, lumen output, and intended application — before filing entries.
Yes. The Department of Energy sets minimum efficacy standards for general service LED lamps under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, and non-compliant lamps cannot be legally sold in the US market. The FTC requires a Lighting Facts label on consumer LED lamp packaging disclosing lumens, energy use, life expectancy, and color temperature. Importers should verify that products meet DOE efficacy thresholds and carry compliant labeling before distribution, as enforcement can result in recalls and civil penalties.
