Electric lighting fixtures imported into the US are subject to product safety standards enforced by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), and fixtures with electronic components such as LED drivers or wireless controls may also require FCC authorization. Importers should ensure products carry appropriate third-party safety certifications (e.g., UL or ETL listing) and FCC compliance documentation before entry.
