Last updated: April 2026 dataDischarge lamps — including fluorescent tubes, compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), high-pressure sodium, metal halide, and mercury vapor types — serve commercial, industrial, and street-lighting applications where high-lumen output and long service life are priorities. Ultraviolet discharge lamps are excluded and classified separately. Mercury-containing discharge lamps are subject to EPA import notification requirements under TSCA, and some types face restrictions under international agreements addressing mercury trade, making regulatory compliance a key consideration alongside tariff classification.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. Lamps containing mercury — including fluorescent tubes and high-intensity discharge types — may be subject to EPA TSCA import certification requirements. Additionally, the Minamata Convention on Mercury has influenced international trade flows and domestic regulatory posture toward mercury-added products. Importers should confirm current EPA notification and certification obligations before shipment.
Germicidal, UV-curing, and other discharge lamps whose primary output is in the ultraviolet spectrum are excluded from this heading and classified under the UV/infrared lamp category. The determining factor is the lamp's designed spectral output, not its physical construction — a discharge lamp physically similar to a fluorescent tube but optimized for UV emission belongs in the separate UV heading.
