FAQs

Quick Answers

Which US certifications are most important? ULListing + DLC (or EnergyStar for ≤150W) ensures safety and unlocks rebates.

How to circumvent Section 301 tariffs? Source components finished in Mexico, or buy US-made SKUs (GE, Cree, Eaton) to avoid China List4A tariffs.

Minimum order quantity? Most brands have a minimum order quantity of 1,000-5,000 pieces; XGM offers a trial run of 500 pieces for niche projects.

Lead Time Hot Tips? Book Q3/Q4 containers early – holiday electronics shipments surge and spot rates on transpacific routes will surge 30%.

 

Next Steps for US Wholesale Buyers

Shortlist three brands that meet your UL rating and price targets.

 

Perform a landed cost calculation – add together duties, freight, brokerage and storage fees.

 

Request LM-80 and TM-21 data to verify lumen maintenance claims.
