10. Xiamen Topstar

Importer Action Plan (Swipe Deployment)

Tariff Mix and Match – Mix US-assembled Yankon lamps with China-made XGM lamps to evenly reduce Section 301 risk.


Discounted SKUs – Prioritize DLC QPL-certified Opple, FSL, and Signify lamps to unlock instant utility incentives.


Freight Times – Book space before Golden Week (late September) and after Chinese New Year to avoid a 30% freight spike.


Certificate Document Library – Gather LM-80, TM-21, and UL documents during the inquiry period; import detentions cost more than paperwork.


Lifecycle Check – Subscribe to PCN information for each brand; outdated packaging can cause inventory to be stranded faster than you can say “write-down.”
