U.S. imports of electric lamp holders (not exceeding 1,000 volts) (SITC 77257) totaled $2.3M in April 2026, traded with 30 countries.
Importers of Electric Lamp Holders (Not Exceeding 1,000 Volts) paid $367K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 22% on $1.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataLamp holders — the sockets, bases, and mounting assemblies that mechanically and electrically connect light sources to a circuit — span a wide range of base types (E26, E27, GU10, G4, and others) and are used in residential lighting, commercial fixtures, and specialty luminaire manufacturing. Base type and voltage rating are the primary specification variables that determine interchangeability and, in some cases, tariff subheading. Importers sourcing from China should account for Section 301 tariff exposure, and UL or ETL listing documentation is commonly required by US buyers even though it is not a CBP admissibility condition.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
When a lamp holder is imported as an integral part of a complete luminaire, the assembly is generally classified as a luminaire rather than as a lamp holder. The lamp-holder heading applies to holders imported separately — as components for fixture manufacturing or replacement parts. The presentation and commercial context of the shipment determine which classification applies.
Yes. The heading covers lamp holders regardless of their switching mechanism or lack thereof — keyless, pull-chain, turn-knob, and push-through variants all classify here provided they are designed for voltages not exceeding 1,000 V. The switching feature does not reclassify the article as a switch, because the lamp-holder function remains the essential character.
