HS Code 8524.12 – Flat panel display modules, whether or not incorporating touch-sensitive screens; of organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), without drivers or control circuits
HS code 8524.12 is the 6-digit subheading for flat panel display modules, whether or not incorporating touch-sensitive screens, of organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), without drivers or control circuits. It is used for OLED display panels, flexible OLED screens, micro-OLED modules, transparent OLED panels and foldable OLED displays.
What HS 8524.12 covers
This HS code covers advanced flat panel display modules utilizing Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) technology, specifically those without integrated drivers or control circuits. These are essentially raw, high-performance display components, often flexible or transparent, that require further integration into a complete electronic system. International trade in these modules is driven by the demand for cutting-edge screens in premium consumer electronics, such as high-end smartphones, smartwatches, and emerging foldable devices. Major importers are typically large electronics manufacturers and assemblers in countries with significant production capabilities, who then add the necessary control electronics and integrate them into their final products. Exporters are primarily specialized display panel manufacturers, often based in East Asia, who possess the advanced fabrication technologies for OLED production. Key things to know include the increasing demand for flexible and foldable OLEDs, and the complex supply chain involved in bringing these sophisticated components to market.

Codes often confused with 8524.12
Common mistake. This code can be confused with 852492 (OLED with drivers) or 852419 (other display types without drivers). The key distinction is the OLED technology combined with the absence of integrated drivers or control circuits.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 852412, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 852412 in UN Comtrade data was South Korea, with 88% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Vietnam, with about 67% 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. 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).
