9405.42.82.00 - Light-emitting diode (LED) backlights modules, the foregoing which are lighting sources that consist of one or more LEDs and one or more connectors and are mounted on a printed circuit or other similar substrate, and other passive components, whether or not combined with optical components or protective diodes, and used as backlights illumination for liquid crystal displays(LCDs)

This HTS category, 9405.42.82.00, specifically classifies light-emitting diode (LED) backlight modules designed for use with liquid crystal displays (LCDs). These modules are characterized by their construction, which includes one or more LEDs, connectors, and other passive components mounted on a printed circuit or similar substrate. They may also incorporate optical components or protective diodes to enhance their function as illumination sources for LCD screens. The primary purpose of these goods is to provide backlighting for displays in a variety of electronic devices, such as televisions, monitors, and portable electronic products.

Within the broader category of "Other electric luminaires and lighting fittings, designed for use solely with light-emitting diode (LED) light sources," this specific subheading differentiates itself from its sibling, 9405.42.84, which covers "Other" LED lighting fittings not meeting the precise definition of LED backlight modules for LCDs. While 9405.42.84 might encompass general-purpose LED lighting assemblies or fixtures, 9405.42.82.00 is narrowly focused on the integrated modules intended to illuminate the pixels of an LCD panel.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on meeting the detailed description of an LED backlight module for LCDs. Key classification considerations include the presence of the essential components (LEDs, substrate, connectors) and their specific application as a backlight for LCD technology.
