Last updated: August 2026 dataNAICS 335139 captures manufacturers of electric lamp bulbs — including LED, fluorescent, HID, and specialty lamps — as well as other lighting equipment not classified as complete fixtures. The LED transition has fundamentally restructured this segment: traditional incandescent and compact fluorescent lamp production has largely migrated offshore, while high-performance LED modules and drivers remain a focus of domestic and near-shore manufacturing. DOE efficiency standards have effectively phased out certain lamp types from the US market, so importers must confirm that lamp products meet current efficacy requirements before entry.

DOE regulations have effectively eliminated the importation and sale of most traditional incandescent general service lamps that do not meet minimum efficacy standards. Importers should consult current DOE rulemaking and the applicable lamp definitions to confirm whether a specific lamp type is covered, as the scope of regulated lamp categories has expanded in recent years.
LED retrofit lamps designed to replace traditional bulbs in existing sockets are generally classified as lamps under HTS Chapter 85, while complete LED luminaire assemblies (fixture plus light source) are classified as luminaires. The distinction matters because the two categories can carry different duty rates and different Section 301 exposure for Chinese-origin goods.
