Last updated: April 2026 dataFueled by oil, gas, kerosene, or other non-electric energy sources, nonelectrical lamps and their fittings serve niche markets ranging from outdoor recreation and emergency preparedness to decorative and heritage applications. Unlike their electric counterparts, these products are generally not subject to the same Section 301 scrutiny that targets Chinese-origin electrical goods, though classification still requires care when a fitting could be adapted for either fuel or electric use. Material composition — brass, glass, or polymer — and the type of fuel system (pressurized vs. wick) are the primary specification distinctions that matter for accurate tariff classification.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Fittings adaptable to both electric and non-electric sources are classified based on their primary design intent and the form in which they are imported. If imported without electrical components and marketed for fuel use, classification as a nonelectrical fitting is typically appropriate; if wired or sold with a socket, the electric heading generally governs.
Pressurized gas lanterns designed for outdoor or camping use generally fall within nonelectrical lighting fittings, provided they operate solely on gas or liquid fuel. However, lanterns with integrated battery-powered igniters or LED backup modes may require a more nuanced classification analysis.
