This is in response to your letter, dated December 02, 2008, to the National Commodity Specialists Division of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) in which you requested a binding ruling, on behalf of Optrex America, Inc., on the tariff classification of certain liquid crystal display (“LCD”) modules under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (“HTSUS”). Your request was forwarded to this office for a response. In reaching this decision, we reviewed the product samples and schematics included with the submission.

(models A-55362GZU-T-ACN and A-55361GZU-T-CAN) and (2) the “T” prefix modules (models T-51440GL070H-FW-AF, T-51863D150J-FW-A-AA and T-55336D175J-FW-A-AAN).

The “A” prefix modules are LCD character displays used in automobiles. They contain drive circuitry capable of illuminating segments, characters or icons, but require an external microprocessor to instruct the drive circuitry to turn on or off. Model A-55362GZU-T-ACN is an automotive LCD radio display with message center capacity for Bluetooth connection status, climate control, a clock, and a compass. It contains approximately 25 segment-style characters, most of which display a full range of numbers and letters, and 50 permanently etched icons. The display measures approximately 7 inches in length, 2.5 inches in height, and 1 mm in thickness. Model A-55361GZU-T-ACN is an automotive LCD message display with radio, climate, and other limited display capabilities. It contains approximately 72 segment-style characters, most of which are capable of displaying a full range of numbers and letters, and 60 permanently etched icons. The display measures approximately 7 inches in length, 2.75 inches in height, and 1 mm in thickness.

The “T” prefix modules are thin-film transistor (“TFT”) LCD graphic displays for monitors of various types. As imported, the devices are not complete monitors; they contain drive circuitry, but lack a controller chip or card required to process signals. Models T-51863D150J-FW-A-AA and T-55336D175J-FW-A-AAN also lack an external power supply. Model T-51440GL070H-FW-AF is a 7 inch, 480 x 234 color display for automobile entertainment monitors. It is composed of a TFT cell, driver integrated circuits (“ICs”), a timing controller IC, a backlight unit, an inverter DC/DC converter, and a video circuit. Model T-51863D150J-FW-A-AA, is a 15 inch, 1034 x 768 XGA color display for monitors used in aviation and marine applications. It is composed of a TFT cell, driver ICs, a control circuit, a backlight unit, and a DC/DC converter. Model T-55336D175J-FW-A-AAN, is a 17.5 inch, 1280 x 768 WXGA color display for monitors used in medical and aviation applications. It is composed of a TFT cell, driver ICs, a control circuit, a backlight unit, and a DC/DC converter.

LCDs are prima facie classifiable in the following HTSUS headings: 8528, which provides for monitors and projectors not incorporating television reception apparatus; 8531, which provides for electric sound or visual signaling apparatus; and 9013, which provides for liquid crystal devices not provided for more specifically in other headings. By the terms of heading 9013, HTSUS, CBP first considers classification in headings 8528 and 8531, HTSUS. If an LCD does not meet the terms of those headings, it is classified in heading 9013, HTSUS. See Sharp Microelectronics Technology, Inc. v. United States, 932 F.Supp. 1499 (Ct. Int’l. Trade 1996), aff’d, 122 F.3d 1446 (Fed. Cir. 1997). See also Headquarters Ruling Letter (“HQ”) 959175, dated November 25, 1996.

You submit that the “A” prefix LCD character modules are classified in subheading 8531.20.00, HTSUS, as “Electric sound or visual signaling apparatus …: Indicator panels incorporating liquid crystal devices (LCD’s).”

It is well established that only those LCDs which are limited by design and/or principal use to “signaling” are classifiable in heading 8531, HTSUS. See Optrex America, Inc. v. United States, 427 F. Supp. 2d 1177 (Ct. Int’l Trade 2006), aff’d, 475 F.3d 1367 (Fed. Cir. 2007) (“Optrex”). See also, HQ H02661, dated July 8, 2008, HQ H012694, dated August 31, 2007, and HQ H003880, dated March 27, 2007. In Optrex, the Court of International Trade (“CIT”) explained that to be classified as an indicator panel incorporating LCDs under heading 8531, HTSUS, “the article must belong to the class or kind of merchandise that is principally used to display limited information that is easily understood by the person viewing it.” Optrex, 427 F. Supp. 2d at 1198. Further, the CIT accorded the “80 character rule” – guidance developed by CBP to determine whether a character display module is principally used for signaling – “some deference” under Skidmore v. Swift & Co., 323 U.S. 134 (1944), as a reasonable interpretation. According to the 80 character rule, if a character display module can display no more than 80 characters, then, in the absence of any information to the contrary, it is deemed to belong to the class or kind of merchandise that is principally used for signaling. Optrex, at 1199.

In Optrex, the court classified LCD segmented character modules with permanently etched icons capable of displaying no more than 80 characters, and containing drive circuitry, in heading 8531, HTSUS, as signaling apparatus. See Optrex, 427 F. Supp. 2d at 1199, aff’d, 475 F.3d 1367 (Fed. Cir. 2007). The instant “A” prefix LCD character modules are similarly operationally limited to performing signaling functions. They contain permanently etched icons that display, in 80 characters or less, limited information of the type an automobile driver would easily understand, e.g., velocity in miles per hour, the time, the temperature, music controls, etc. Moreover, they include the drive circuitry necessary to illuminate a particular segment, character or icon in the LCD based on signals transmitted from an external microprocessor. The functions performed by these modules are akin to those performed by the products listed as exemplars in the ENs to heading 8531. As such, we conclude that the “A” prefix modules are classified in heading 8531, HTSUS, as signaling apparatus.

You submit that the “T” prefix TFT graphic display modules are classified in subheading 9013.80.70, HTSUS, as “Liquid crystal devices not constituting articles provided for more specifically in other headings; …: Other devices, appliances and instruments: Flat panel displays other than for articles of heading 8528, except subheadings 8528.51 or 8528.61 [of a kind solely or principally used in an automatic data processing (“ADP”) system of heading 8471].” As noted above, an LCD can only be classified in 9013, HTSUS, if it is not more specifically described elsewhere, namely, in heading 8528, HTSUS, as monitors, or in heading 8531, HTSUS, as signaling apparatus.

Heading 8528, HTSUS, provides, in pertinent part, for “Monitors and projectors, not incorporating television reception apparatus.” To be classified as a monitor, a device must be capable of accepting, processing, and transmitting video or ADP signals. The subject modules cannot be classified as monitors because, as imported, they lack the necessary circuitry to accept, process, and transmit a video or ADP signal. The modules are also beyond the scope of heading 8531, HTSUS, which provides for signaling apparatus, because their use is not limited to that of signaling. That is, if connected to the appropriate controller circuitry, they can display an unlimited number of images. Accordingly, we turn to heading 9013, HTSUS.

Heading 9013, HTSUS, provides, in pertinent part, for “Liquid crystal devices not constituting articles provided more specifically in other headings.” LCDs of heading 9013, HTSUS, can be classified under one of two subheadings: 9013.80.70 or 9013.80.90. Subheading 9013.80.70, HTSUS, provides for: “Other devices, appliances and instruments: Flat panel displays other than for articles of heading 8528, except subheadings 8528.51 or 8528.61 [of a kind solely or principally used in ADP system of heading 8471].”

The “T” prefix modules are flat panel displays for use in monitors of heading 8528, HTSUS. You did not provide sufficient evidence to show that the modules are “for” articles of subheadings 8528.51 (of a kind solely or principally used with an ADP system) or 8528.61 (projection monitors). Accordingly, the exception to subheading 9013.80.70, HTSUS, does not apply. We conclude that the modules are classified in subheading 9013.80.90, HTSUS, as: “Liquid crystal devices not constituting articles provided for more specifically in other headings; …: Other devices, appliances and instruments: Other.”

By application of GRI 1, the “A” prefix LCD modules, models A-55362GZU-T-ACN, A-55361GZU-T-ACN, are classified in heading 8531, specifically in subheading 8531.20.00, HTSUS, which provides for “Electric sound or visual signaling apparatus (for example, bells, sirens, indicator panels, burglar or fire alarms), other than those of heading 8512 or 8530; parts thereof: Indicator panels incorporating liquid crystal devices (LCD’s) for light emitting diodes (LED’s).” The 2009 column one, general rate of duty is Free.

By application of GRI 1, the “T” prefix TFT graphic display modules, models T-51440GL070H-FW-AF, T-51863D150J-FW-A-AA, and T-55336D175J-FW-A-AAN, are classified in heading 9013, specifically in subheading 9013.80.90, HTSUS, which provides for “Liquid crystal devices not constituting articles provided for more specifically in other headings; lasers, other than laser diodes; other optical appliances and instruments, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter; parts and accessories thereof: Other devices, appliances and instruments: Other.” The 2009 column one, general rate of duty is 4.5 percent ad valorem.

The code above is a complete TARIC code. This means it can be used for import declarations for the EU. For export declarations, you can use the corresponding CN-code, which consists of the first eight digits of this code. Note that the first six digits of this code are the HS-code, which is the same internationally. When classifying a product, you need to check a lot of different data sources. You can find them all in our online platform, just one mouse click away.

For the purposes of 8524, “flat panel display modules” refer to devices or apparatus for the display of information, equipped at a minimum with a display screen, which are designed to be incorporated into articles of other headings prior to use. Display screens for flat panel display modules include, but are not limited to, those which are flat, curved, flexible, foldable or stretchable in form. Flat panel display modules may incorporate additional elements, including those necessary for receiving video signals and the allocation of those signals to pixels on the display. However, 8524 does not include display modules which are equipped with components for converting video signals (e.g. a scaler IC, decoder IC or application processer) or have otherwise assumed the character of goods of other headings.

“Light‑emitting diode (LED) modules” which are electrical light sources based on light‑emitting diodes (LED) arranged in electrical circuits and containing further elements like electrical, mechanical, thermal or optical elements. They also contain discrete active elements, discrete passive elements, or articles of 8536 or 8542 for the purposes of providing power supply or power control. Light‑emitting diode (LED) modules do not have a cap designed to allow easy installation or replacement in a luminaire and ensure mechanical and electrical contact.

“Light‑emitting diode (LED) lamps” which are electrical light sources containing one or more LED modules containing further elements like electrical, mechanical, thermal or optical elements. The distinction between light‑emitting diode (LED) modules and light‑emitting diode (LED) lamps is that lamps have a cap designed to allow easy installation or replacement in a luminaire and ensure mechanical and electrical contact.
