Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the LED is imported as part of a complete automotive headlight assembly
Complete lighting equipment for motor vehicles is classified under 8512, not as a semiconductor device.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the product is a bare LED chip without housing or optics to stay under this tariff item
• If the chip is part of a headlight assembly, it may be classified under vehicle parts
• Ensure compliance with Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards if the LED is for road use
Related Products under Tariff item 8541.41.00
3W High Power COB LED
A chip-on-board (COB) LED module that integrates multiple LED chips on a single substrate to deliver 3W of warm white light. It is designed for use in spotlights and downlights, and qualifies under this tariff item as a light-emitting diode (LED) product that has not been incorporated into a complete lighting fixture.
Addressable WS2812B RGB LED
An addressable RGB LED with an integrated controller chip, allowing individual color and brightness control for pixel strips and matrices. Despite the controller, it is classified here because the primary function is light emission from semiconductor diodes, and the controller is ancillary to the LED's operation.
Flip-Chip CSP LED 3030
A chip-scale package (CSP) LED in a 3030 format, using flip-chip technology for direct substrate bonding to maximize light extraction. This advanced packaging is still a light-emitting diode and falls under this tariff item as a semiconductor-based light source.
High Brightness Streetlight LED
A high-brightness LED chip rated for 200W equivalent output, designed for outdoor street lighting with enhanced thermal management. It is classified here as an industrial-grade light-emitting diode, separate from the luminaire housing and optics that would be classified elsewhere.
Infrared 850nm LED
An 850nm near-infrared LED used in night vision illuminators and remote controls, emitting light outside the visible spectrum. It falls under this tariff item because the classification covers light-emitting diodes regardless of emission wavelength, including infrared.
MCPCB Mounted LED Strip Components
Individual LEDs pre-mounted on metal core PCB (MCPCB) segments, designed for flexible light strip applications. These are classified as assembled light-emitting diodes, not complete lighting fixtures, because they lack the housing, connectors, and power supply of a finished product.
