8310 00 000 0 — Sign-plates, name-plates, address-plates and similar plates, numbers, letters and other symbols, of base metal, excluding those of heading 9405

8310 Tablets bearing signs, names, addresses and similar plates, numbers, letters and other symbols of base metals, other than articles of heading 9405

With the exception of light-indicators, light-labels bearing names and similar articles having an integrated light source, and parts thereof, not elsewhere named or included, of heading 9405, this heading includes metal plates of base metals bearing on them (by enameling, varnishing, printing, engraving, perforation, stamping, molding, minting, forming, or any other process) words, letters, figures or images, informing them (by ename, varnishing, label, etc., etc.) with all the information necessary for the purpose of advertising, or the like. The peculiarity of such plates is that they are usually intended for permanent fixation (for example, road signs, advertising signs, plates of machine manufacturers) or for repeated use (for example, tokens and tags for wardrobe). Some plates may be designed to further supplement the information already on the plate by inserts (for example, an insert with an individual serial number to the plate bearing all the necessary information about the machine). This heading does not, however, include plates, labels, tags and similar plates bearing printed or otherwise printed information of a random nature as compared with the basic information to be supplemented by the manuscript or otherwise. This heading includes: (1) Plates with the names of districts, streets, etc.; plates with the numbers or names of houses, graves, etc.; signs for public services (police, fire protection, etc.) prohibiting signs ("no smoking", "reserve zone", etc.); signs or road signs, etc. (2) Signs of hotels, shops, factories. (3) Advertising signs with signs. (4) Address plates for domos, doors, mailboxes, vehicles, collars, etc.; garden labels; key tags, tokens and wardrobe tags. (5) Similar plates and emblems for machines, measuring instruments, cars (e.g. license plates), etc. This heading also includes individual letters, numbers or images (or sets thereof) used for drawing up sign plates as described above for shop windows, train sign plates, etc. Stencils, however, are classified according to the metal from which they are made. This heading does not cover: (a) plates without letters, numbers or images, or bearing only certain immaterial particulars inherent in the basic information to be communicated later (for example, headings 7325, 7326, 7616, 7907); (b) printed tape (heading 8442); typewriter tape and plates for address machines (heading 8473); (c) signal plates, disks and semaphores of heading 8608.
