What decides the code
An LED neon sign is an illuminated sign with a permanently fixed LED light source, classified under heading 9405, specifically 9405.61.60.00.
- The sign has a permanently fixed light source, which places it in heading 9405 as an illuminated sign.
- The light source is LED, which leads to subheading 9405.61.
- It is not designed for use solely with LED light sources, so it falls in the residual line 9405.61.60.00.
Common mistakes
- Classifying the sign under 9405.41 or other luminaire lines for electric lamps ignores that this is an illuminated sign, not a general lighting fitting.
- Using a parts line under heading 9405 is wrong because the sign is imported complete with its light source, not as a separate part.
- Placing the sign in a plastics or acrylic article heading ignores that the essential character comes from the illuminated sign function of heading 9405.
