About HS Code 852499

This HS code covers flat panel display modules that are neither Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) nor Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLED), but importantly, *do* incorporate drivers or control circuits. This 'other' category for functional display modules includes specialized or emerging technologies like fully integrated MicroLED displays, E-ink display assemblies, or other advanced display types that are ready for direct integration into final products. Trade in these components is often driven by niche markets, industrial applications, or cutting-edge consumer electronics where specific display characteristics (e.g., ultra-low power, extreme brightness, unique form factors) are required. Importers are typically manufacturers of specialized equipment, high-tech consumer goods, or industrial systems. Exporters are often innovators in these specific display technologies, catering to a global demand for differentiated display solutions.

Products Under This Code

MicroLED display modules with drivers, E-ink display assemblies, Quantum Dot display modules (non-LCD/OLED), Electroluminescent display panels with drivers, MEMS display modules, Digital Light Processing (DLP) projector modules

Real World Examples

E Ink Kaleido display modules, Samsung The Wall MicroLED modules (component level), Sony Crystal LED modules (component level), specialized industrial display units (e.g., for medical devices or avionics)

Common Misclassification

Can be confused with 852419 (other display types without drivers) or other specific display codes like 852491 (LCD with drivers). The key is the 'other' display technology combined with the presence of integrated drivers and control circuits.

Products Classified Under 8524.99

Industry

This code belongs to the Electronics & Electrical Equipment industry.

Trade Overview

China, Taiwan, and the USA are significant players in the production and export of these specialized display modules, with global high-tech manufacturers being the main importers.
