The first 6 digits are the international HS code, so their meaning is the same in every country; Brazil publishes the text in Portuguese. Digits 7 and 8 are Brazil's own split of that HS code. The full 8-digit code is used on import declarations (DUIMP), invoices (NF-e) and tax filings.

Questions about NCM 8541.41.21

What is NCM 8541.41.21?

NCM 8541.41.21 (85414121) is the Brazilian (Mercosur) code for sMD LEDs, excluding laser diodes. Its official Portuguese description is “Diodos emissores de luz (LED), exceto diodos laser, próprios para montagem em superfície (SMD - Surface Mounted Device)”.

What is the HS code for NCM 8541.41.21?

HS 8541.41 (Electrical apparatus; photosensitive semiconductor devices, light emitting diodes (LED)). The first 6 digits of an NCM code are its international HS code; the last 2 digits are Brazil's own split.

Is an NCM code the same as an HS code?

The first 6 digits are the same in every country. NCM adds an item digit (7th) and a subitem digit (8th). A code ending in 00 means Brazil does not split that HS code further.

Which countries use NCM 8541.41.21?

All Mercosur members use the same NCM codes: Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay.
