U.S. imports of tungsten halogen electric filament lamps (HS 853921) totaled $11.0M in April 2026, traded with 26 countries.
Importers of Tungsten Halogen Electric Filament Lamps paid $1.1M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 12% on $9.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Tungsten Halogen Electric Filament Lamps imports of $11.0M in April 2026 ran 15% above the year-to-date monthly average of $9.5M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataTungsten halogen lamps use a halogen gas cycle to extend filament life and maintain lumen output, making them a preferred light source in automotive forward lighting, studio and stage lighting, and high-intensity task illumination. The US schedule splits this heading by voltage — at or below 100 V (8539212000, 8539212040, 8539212080) and above 100 V (8539214040, 8539214080) — with the higher-voltage lines further divided at the 500 W power threshold. Germany leads US import supply, reflecting the strength of European specialty lamp manufacturers in the automotive and professional lighting segments, with Mexico and Japan also significant sources. Importers should be aware that energy-efficiency regulations at the state and federal level have progressively restricted the sale of certain halogen lamp types for general illumination, which affects demand patterns even when import classification remains unchanged.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Automotive halogen lamps operating at 12 V (or 24 V for heavy vehicles) fall below the 100 V threshold and classify under the sub-100 V lines — specifically 8539212040 for vehicle use. The voltage rating refers to the lamp's design operating voltage, not the vehicle's system voltage, so importers should use the lamp's rated voltage as stated on the manufacturer's specification sheet.
Yes. DOE regulations under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act have established efficacy standards that effectively prohibit the sale of many traditional halogen A-type lamps for general service illumination in the US market. However, halogen lamps for specialty applications — automotive, rough service, vibration service, stage and studio — are generally exempt. Importers should confirm the intended end-use and applicable exemption category before importing general-service halogen types.
