8517.62.00Lower: 32.5% vs 35%

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.

8541.41.00.00Lower: 25% vs 35%

If imported as standalone LED chips without PCB mounting or connectors

Unmounted LEDs are semiconductor devices under 8541, not assembled backlight modules.

8473.30.51.00Higher: 50% vs 35%

If imported as parts of complete laptop assemblies

LCD backlights integrated into computer subassemblies fall under 8473 for automatic data processing machines.
