Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not containing an electrical light source
Without a permanently fixed light, it becomes a non-illuminated sign under 9405.60, changing the functional classification.
If for industrial use without illumination
Plain base metal safety plaques without lights are often classified as other articles of iron or steel in Chapter 73.
