About HS Code 852852

This HS code encompasses modern flat-panel monitors, such as LCD, LED, OLED, and plasma displays, that are specifically designed to connect directly to and function as the primary visual output for automatic data processing machines (computers) under HS 8471. This is a highly active and significant category in international trade, representing the vast majority of computer monitors sold today. Importers include major electronics retailers, corporate IT departments, educational institutions, and individual consumers. Exporters are predominantly large-scale manufacturers located in East Asia, particularly China, South Korea, and Taiwan, which have advanced production capabilities for display technologies. Key trade considerations involve compliance with energy efficiency standards, display resolution and refresh rate specifications, ergonomic certifications, and various international safety and environmental regulations (e.g., RoHS). The market is characterized by rapid technological advancements and intense competition.
