## Key differences
| Feature | 3926.90 (Plastic) | 7616.99 (Aluminum) | 8543.70 (With LED) |
|---------------------|-------------------|--------------------|--------------------|
| Material | Plastic | Aluminum | Varies (often plastic) |
| Electrical parts | None | None | Yes (e.g., LED) |
| Realism | Low | Medium | High |
## How to choose
- Is it made of metal? → 7616.99
- Does it have a blinking light or power source? → 8543.70
- Is it plastic and completely inactive? → 3926.90
## Overlaps & pitfalls
A camera with an LED might still be made of plastic (overlaps 3926.90 and 8543.70). The key is whether it has electrical components—this determines the correct HS Code. If unsure, prioritize function: **active features (like blinking lights) override material**. Do not assign based on appearance alone
