About HS Code 852411

This HS code specifically identifies bare liquid crystal (LCD) flat panel display modules, which may or may not incorporate touch-sensitive screens, but critically, they do not include drivers or control circuits. These are essential intermediate components in the electronics manufacturing supply chain. Major exporters are countries with advanced display manufacturing capabilities, such as South Korea, China, and Taiwan, which supply these panels to assembly plants globally. Importers are typically electronics manufacturers that integrate these modules into finished products like laptops, monitors, televisions, and various industrial or consumer devices. Key trade considerations include panel size, resolution, display technology (e.g., IPS, VA), and the presence of touch functionality. The continuous global demand for electronic devices fuels a high-volume, specialized international trade in these fundamental display components.

Products Under This Code

Bare LCD panels, TFT-LCD modules (without drivers), IPS LCD panels (raw), VA LCD panels (raw), Touch-sensitive LCD glass, Monochrome LCD modules (driverless), Small format LCD cells

Real World Examples

Samsung Display LCD panels (raw), LG Display LCD panels (raw), BOE Technology LCD cells, AU Optronics (AUO) bare LCDs, Innolux LCD modules (driverless)

Common Misclassification

This code is distinct from 852412 (OLED modules without drivers) and 852419 (other flat panel modules without drivers). It's crucial to differentiate from complete display units with integrated drivers/control circuits, which fall under other headings like 8528.
