Here is the structured classification and tariff information for LED strip products based on the provided HS codes and tax details:
✅ HS CODE: 9405426000
Product Description: Luminaires specifically designed for use with LED light sources
Total Tax Rate: 61.0%
Tax Breakdown:
- Base Tariff Rate: 6.0%
- Additional Tariff: 25.0%
- Special Tariff after April 11, 2025: 30.0%
Key Notes:
- This code is the most accurate for LED strips designed for LED lighting.
- The special tariff increases significantly after April 11, 2025.
- No anti-dumping duties apply to this category.
Proactive Advice:
- Confirm that the product is specifically designed for LED use (not general-purpose lighting).

✅ HS CODE: 9405490000
Product Description: Other electric lamps and lighting fittings
Total Tax Rate: 58.9%
Tax Breakdown:
- Base Tariff Rate: 3.9%
- Additional Tariff: 25.0%
- Special Tariff after April 11, 2025: 30.0%
Key Notes:
- This code is a catch-all for general electric lamps, not specifically LED-based.
- Higher tax rate compared to LED-specific code (9405426000).
- No anti-dumping duties apply.
Proactive Advice:
- Avoid using this code if the product is LED-specific, as it may result in higher tariffs.
- Verify the product specification to ensure correct classification.
✅ HS CODE: 8541410000
Product Description: Semiconductor devices, e.g., diodes, transistors, semiconductor-based transducers
Total Tax Rate: 45.0%
Tax Breakdown:
- Base Tariff Rate: 0.0%
- Additional Tariff: 25.0%
- Special Tariff after April 11, 2025: 20.0%
Key Notes:
- This code applies to LED components, not the finished LED strip product.
- Lower tax rate than LED-specific lighting code.
- No anti-dumping duties apply.
Proactive Advice:
- Use this code only for LED components, not for the final product.
- Ensure component vs. finished product distinction to avoid misclassification.
✅ HS CODE: 8541900000
Product Description: Semiconductor devices, including photovoltaic cells, and LED
Total Tax Rate: 120.0%
Tax Breakdown:
- Base Tariff Rate: 0.0%
- Additional Tariff: 50.0%
- Special Tariff after April 11, 2025: 20.0%

- Very high tax rate due to additional tariffs.
- Anti-dumping duties may apply if the product contains steel or aluminum components.
Proactive Advice:
- Avoid using this code for LED strips unless it's a module or component.
- Check if the product contains steel or aluminum parts, which may trigger extra tariffs.
✅ HS CODE: 8541499500
Product Description: Other specific photovoltaic semiconductor devices, including LED
Total Tax Rate: 70.0%
Tax Breakdown:
- Base Tariff Rate: 0.0%
