SITCSection 7
U.S. imports of filament lamps (excluding flashbulbs, infrared, ultraviolet, and sealed beam units) (SITC 77821) totaled $20.5M in April 2026, traded with 41 countries.
Importers of Filament Lamps (Excluding Flashbulbs, Infrared, Ultraviolet, and Sealed Beam Units) paid $2.3M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 12% on $18.6M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataIncandescent and halogen filament lamps — excluding flashbulbs, infrared/ultraviolet types, and sealed beam units — represent a narrowing but still commercially active import segment, primarily serving specialty, decorative, and industrial applications where LED substitution remains incomplete. Voltage rating, wattage, base type, and whether the lamp is designed for general lighting or a specific apparatus determine classification at the tariff-line level. China has historically dominated supply of standard filament lamps, and Section 301 exposure is a persistent cost consideration for this origin.

Flashbulbs (photographic), infrared lamps, ultraviolet lamps, and sealed beam lamp units are all excluded and classified under separate SITC headings. Halogen lamps designed for general lighting purposes are typically included, but halogen infrared lamps fall under the infrared exclusion — so the lamp's primary function and spectral output matter for correct classification.
Imports persist for specialty filament lamps — including decorative Edison-style bulbs, high-wattage industrial types, and lamps for specific apparatus — where LED alternatives are not yet cost-effective or technically equivalent. General-purpose incandescent volumes have declined sharply following US energy efficiency standards, but niche segments continue to generate meaningful import activity.
