Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If marketed as general-purpose LED lighting fixtures
Modules not specifically for LCD backlights in chapter 90 apparatus classify as other LED lamps under heading 8517.
If imported as standalone LED chips without PCB mounting or connectors
Unmounted LEDs are semiconductor devices under 8541, not assembled backlight modules.
If imported as parts of complete laptop assemblies
LCD backlights integrated into computer subassemblies fall under 8473 for automatic data processing machines.
