HS Code 8524.11 – Flat panel display modules, whether or not incorporating touch-sensitive screens; of liquid crystals, without drivers or control circuits
HS code 8524.11 is the 6-digit subheading for flat panel display modules, whether or not incorporating touch-sensitive screens, of liquid crystals, without drivers or control circuits. It is used for bare LCD panels, TFT-LCD modules (without drivers), IPS LCD panels (raw), VA LCD panels (raw) and touch-sensitive LCD glass.
What HS 8524.11 covers
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.

Codes often confused with 8524.11
Common mistake. 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.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 852411, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 852411 in UN Comtrade data was Taiwan, with about 54% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was China, with 42% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
