Last updated: April 2026 dataInjection-molded diffuser panels, polycarbonate lens covers, ABS lamp housings, and acrylic sign faces are the commercial backbone of this heading, which captures plastic components for luminaires and illuminated signage not classified elsewhere. The plastics specification distinguishes these parts from glass (81391) and other-material (81399) counterparts, and the correct material identification on entry documents is essential to avoid reclassification. Given that plastic lamp and sign components are heavily manufactured in China, Section 301 tariff exposure is a routine compliance consideration for importers in this space.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Composite parts are classified by the material that gives the article its essential character, typically the material comprising the greatest bulk, weight, or value, or the one that performs the primary structural function. If the plastic shell is the dominant structural element, classification as a plastic lamp part is appropriate; if the metal frame is primary, the other-materials heading (81399) may apply.
Acrylic faces specifically cut and finished for illuminated channel-letter signs are classified as parts of illuminated signs within this heading when they are of plastics. The key is that the article must be a dedicated component of an illuminated sign rather than a general sheet of acrylic, which would classify under plastics headings.
