LED retrofit bulbs (E27, E14, B22, GU10, GU5.3, MR16, G9 bases) are classified under 8539.52 following the HS 2022 revision that created dedicated LED subheadings. Previously (HS 2017) LED bulbs were under 8543.70 or 8541.40 — old customs filings under those codes are now obsolete. Smart WiFi/Zigbee LED bulbs are still 8539.52 — the connectivity is an ancillary feature. LED filament bulbs (vintage-look Edison style) are 8539.52. LED tube lights (T5, T8) for fluorescent retrofit are 8539.52. Complete LED luminaires and light fittings (where the LED is permanently integrated into the lamp body) are 9405.11 or 9405.21, not 8539. Raw LED chips and modules (without driver or base) are 8541.40 (semiconductor devices). LED strips with adhesive backing are 9405.40 (other electric lamps and lighting fittings). Section 301 tariffs may apply to China-origin LED bulbs — verify current US rates.
