HS Code 8524.99 – Flat panel display modules, whether or not incorporating touch-sensitive screens; of other than liquid crystals or organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), with drivers or control circuits
HS code 8524.99 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), with drivers or control circuits. It is used for microLED display modules with drivers, E-ink display assemblies, quantum Dot display modules (non-LCD/OLED), electroluminescent display panels with drivers and MEMS display modules.
What HS 8524.99 covers
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.

Codes often confused with 8524.99
Common mistake. 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.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 852499, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 852499 in UN Comtrade data was China, with 62% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Vietnam, with about 27% 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).
