Lamps; light-emitting diode (LED) lamps

HS v2017 Code: 853950

About lamps; light-emitting diode (led) lamps

hs code 853950 covers the import and export of light-emitting diode (LED) lamps, a rapidly growing segment of the global lighting industry. LED lamps have become increasingly popular due to their energy efficiency, long lifespan, and versatility in a wide range of applications, from residential and commercial lighting to industrial and automotive uses. As the world transitions towards more sustainable energy solutions, the demand for LED lamps continues to rise, making this industry an important contributor to the broader economy.

Production process

The production of LED lamps involves several key steps. First, the LED chips are manufactured, typically using semiconductor materials like gallium nitride (GaN) or silicon carbide (SiC). These chips are then mounted onto a substrate and encased in a protective housing, often made of plastic or metal. The lamps may also incorporate additional components such as drivers, heat sinks, and optics to optimize the light output and distribution. The final assembly process can involve automated or manual techniques, depending on the scale and complexity of the product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of LED lamps include the raw materials for the LED chips, such as semiconductor wafers and other specialized components. Manufacturers also rely on various types of machinery and equipment, such as chip fabrication tools, assembly lines, and testing equipment. Additionally, the industry requires a skilled workforce, including engineers, technicians, and production workers, to design, assemble, and quality-control the final products.

Production outputs

The primary output of hs code 853950 is LED lamps, which are used in a wide range of applications. These lamps can be found in 851220 Lighting or visual signalling equipment for residential, commercial, and industrial settings, as well as in 870820 (Parts and accessories of bodies (including cabs) of motor vehicles) for automotive lighting. The energy-efficient and long-lasting nature of LED lamps makes them a popular choice for consumers and businesses seeking to reduce their environmental impact and energy costs.
