Summary
HS code 8541.43 covers photosensitive semiconductor devices, including photovoltaic cells whether or not assembled in modules or made up into panels; light-emitting diodes (LED), photovoltaic cells assembled in modules or made up into panels. It sits in heading 85.41 (semiconductor devices (for example, diodes, transistors, semiconductor-based transducers); photosensitive semiconductor devices, including photovoltaic cells whether or not assembled in modules or made up into panels; light- emitting diodes (LED), whether or not assembled with other light-emitting diodes (LED); mounted piezo-electric crystals) in chapter 85 (electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles). Other goods of heading 85.41 are classified under 8541.10 (diodes, other than photosensitive or light-emitting diodes (LED)), 8541.21 (transistors, other than photosensitive transistors, with a dissipation rate of less than 1 W), 8541.29 (transistors, other than photosensitive transistors, other), 8541.30 (thyristors, diacs and triacs, other than photosensitive devices) or 7 others. National tariff lines under 8541.43 are live on border.bot for the United States (2 lines, also used by 1 other country).
What this code covers
HS code 8541.43 covers photosensitive semiconductor devices, including photovoltaic cells whether or not assembled in modules or made up into panels; light-emitting diodes (LED), photovoltaic cells assembled in modules or made up into panels.
The legal text of the subheading is “Photosensitive semiconductor devices, including photovoltaic cells whether or not assembled in modules or made up into panels; light-emitting diodes (LED): Photovoltaic cells assembled in modules or made up into panels”, read under “Photosensitive semiconductor devices, including photovoltaic cells whether or not assembled in modules or made up into panels; light-emitting diodes (LED)”, in HS2022.
What it doesn’t cover
Other goods of heading 85.41 are classified under 8541.10 (diodes, other than photosensitive or light-emitting diodes (LED)), 8541.21 (transistors, other than photosensitive transistors, with a dissipation rate of less than 1 W), 8541.29 (transistors, other than photosensitive transistors, other), 8541.30 (thyristors, diacs and triacs, other than photosensitive devices) or 7 others.

How it is structured
8541.43 is a six-digit subheading. Its first two digits, 85, are the chapter; the first four, 8541, are heading 85.41; the last two, 43, identify the subheading within the heading.
Countries add their own digits after these six for their national tariff lines.
