Last updated: April 2026 dataExplicitly excluded from this heading are signs and name-plates designed solely for LED light sources — a distinction that has grown commercially significant as LED retrofits have reshaped the signage industry. The US schedule breaks the heading into brass-bodied illuminated name-plates (9405692000), non-brass variants (9405694000), and a residual catch-all (9405696000), with material composition driving classification. China is the dominant supplier, followed by Canada and Mexico, and goods of Chinese origin are subject to Section 301 tariffs, making origin documentation a routine compliance focus for sign importers. Retailers, hospitality operators, and commercial real-estate developers are the primary end-users of non-LED illuminated signage.

The key classification test is whether the fixture is designed solely for LED light sources. Signs engineered exclusively for LED fall outside 940569; signs using fluorescent, neon, incandescent, or mixed-source technology — or those not exclusively LED-designed — remain here. When a sign accepts multiple lamp types, classification under 940569 is generally appropriate, but a licensed customs broker should review the product specification sheet.
Yes. The US schedule distinguishes brass-bodied illuminated name-plates (9405692000) from non-brass metal or other-material variants (9405694000), so the housing material must be confirmed before filing the entry summary.
