U.S. imports of led illuminated signs & name-plates (HS 940561) totaled $10.9M in April 2026, traded with 56 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataIlluminated signs, name-plates, and similar display fixtures designed exclusively for LED light sources serve the retail, hospitality, and commercial signage sectors and are classified separately from non-LED illuminated signs. China dominates supply by a wide margin, with Mexico and Vietnam as secondary sources; Canada's presence reflects cross-border supply chains for custom commercial signage, where proximity and rapid turnaround matter. The US schedule subdivides by material — brass (9405612000), non-brass metal (9405614000), and other materials (9405616000) — and products subject to Section 301 tariffs on Chinese-origin goods represent a significant cost consideration for sign manufacturers sourcing LED display components from China.

The key distinction is function and construction: illuminated signs and name-plates under 940561 use LED backlighting or edge-lighting to display static or simple graphic content — letters, logos, or symbols — in a fixed format. Electronic display panels capable of dynamic video or programmable pixel-level content (such as LED matrix displays or digital billboards) are generally classified under Chapter 85 as electronic display devices. The product's technical specifications, pixel density, and control circuitry are the evidence CBP examines.
The commercial invoice and packing list should specify the primary structural material of the sign housing or frame. Brass-bodied signs go to 9405612000; signs with housings of other base metals (aluminum, steel, zinc alloy) go to 9405614000; and signs with plastic, acrylic, or composite housings fall under 9405616000. A material composition statement from the manufacturer, referencing the housing material by weight or primary component, is the most defensible supporting document.
