HS Code 8524.19 – Flat panel display modules, whether or not incorporating touch-sensitive screens; of other than liquid crystals or organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), without drivers or control circuits
HS code 8524.19 is the 6-digit subheading for flat panel display modules, whether or not incorporating touch-sensitive screens, of other than liquid crystals or organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), without drivers or control circuits. It is used for microLED display panels, E-ink modules, quantum Dot display films, electroluminescent displays and MEMS displays.
What HS 8524.19 covers
This HS code serves as a 'catch-all' for flat panel display modules that are neither Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) nor Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLED), and importantly, do not incorporate drivers or control circuits. This category encompasses a range of specialized or emerging display technologies, such as MicroLED, E-ink, Quantum Dot displays (when not part of an LCD/OLED structure), or other niche display types, in their raw component form. Trade in these modules is often driven by innovation, specialized industrial applications, or prototyping for future consumer electronics. Importers are typically R&D departments, specialized electronics manufacturers, or companies developing unique display solutions. Exporters are often technology leaders in specific display niches, pushing the boundaries beyond the dominant LCD and OLED markets. Understanding the specific technology is crucial for accurate classification.

Codes often confused with 8524.19
Common mistake. Often confused with 852412 (OLED without drivers) or 852411 (LCD without drivers, though not in this list). The crucial differentiator is the specific 'other' display technology and the absence of integrated drivers.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 852419, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 852419 in UN Comtrade data was Taiwan, with about 58% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was China, with 71% 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).

What products fall under HS code 852419?
MicroLED display panels, E-ink modules, Quantum Dot display films, Electroluminescent displays, MEMS displays, Digital Light Processing (DLP) modules, Ferroelectric LCDs (raw)
What are common misclassifications for HS code 852419?
Often confused with 852412 (OLED without drivers) or 852411 (LCD without drivers, though not in this list). The crucial differentiator is the specific 'other' display technology and the absence of integrated drivers.
Which countries are the top exporters of goods under HS code 852419?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS code 852419 in UN Comtrade data were Taiwan (about $610M, 58% of world exports), China ($160M) and Hong Kong ($123M). World exports came to about $1.1B, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.
Which countries are the top importers of goods under HS code 852419?
