Importers of Parts for Machines Assembling Electric/Electronic Lamps & Tubes; Parts for Glass Manufacturing Machinery paid $855K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 14% on $6.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Parts for Machines Assembling Electric/Electronic Lamps & Tubes; Parts for Glass Manufacturing Machinery imports of $8.8M in April 2026 ran 11% below the year-to-date monthly average of $9.9M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataReplacement and service parts for lamp- and tube-assembly machines — covering incandescent, fluorescent, LED, and vacuum-tube production equipment — are grouped here alongside parts for machinery that manufactures or hot-works glass and glassware. The dual scope reflects the historical integration of glass-envelope production with lamp assembly in the same factory environment. Importers of these parts should confirm that the parent machine's classification aligns with this heading, as parts are generally classified with the machine to which they belong.

Under GRI principles, parts that are identifiable as suitable for use solely or principally with a specific machine are classified with that machine's heading. If a part is purpose-designed for a lamp or tube assembly machine, it belongs here regardless of its generic appearance. Importers should retain the OEM part number and technical specification sheet to substantiate the classification.
LED lamp-assembly equipment and its parts are generally captured here alongside traditional incandescent and fluorescent lamp machinery, since the heading covers electric and electronic lamp assembly broadly. However, highly automated LED chip-bonding or semiconductor-assembly equipment may be more specifically classified under electronics-manufacturing machinery headings. A detailed review of the equipment's function is advisable when the technology is at the boundary between lamp assembly and semiconductor fabrication.
