9405.69.60.00 - Other

This category, HTS Code 9405.69.60.00, encompasses illuminated signs, illuminated nameplates, and similar items that are not elsewhere specified within the broader classification for illuminated signs. These are articles that are designed to display light and convey information or decoration, but do not fit into more specific subcategories based on material or construction. The key characteristic is the presence of a permanently fixed light source integrated into the design of the sign or nameplate.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, "Of base metal," is crucial for accurate classification. While the sibling category specifically covers illuminated signs and nameplates constructed primarily from base metals like iron, steel, aluminum, or copper, this "Other" category captures similar illuminated articles made from a variety of other materials. This includes, but is not limited to, plastics, glass, wood, or composite materials, as long as they are not predominantly made of base metal.

As a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, HTS Code 9405.69.60.00 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this code depends on the exclusion from more specific illuminated sign categories and the absence of a base metal primary composition. Importers and exporters should carefully consider the materials used in the construction of their illuminated signs and nameplates to ensure correct classification.
