HS Code 8542.39 – Electronic integrated circuits; n.e.c. in heading no. 8542
HS code 8542.39 is the 6-digit subheading for electronic integrated circuits, n.e.c. in heading no. 8542. It is used for logic gates (AND, OR, NOT), data converters (ADCs, DACs), power management ICs (PMICs), clock generators and interface ICs (USB, HDMI controllers).
What HS 8542.39 covers
This "not elsewhere specified" category for electronic integrated circuits is a broad and crucial classification, encompassing a vast array of ICs that don't fit neatly into the specific processor, memory, or amplifier categories. This includes logic gates, interface ICs, power management ICs, clock generators, data converters (ADCs/DACs), sensor interface ICs, and specialized application-specific standard products (ASSPs). It's a highly diverse segment of the semiconductor market, with trade patterns mirroring the broader electronics industry. Major importers are countries with extensive electronics assembly operations across various sectors, such as China, Vietnam, Mexico, and the EU. Leading exporters are nations with advanced semiconductor design and manufacturing capabilities, including the USA, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea. Key aspects of this trade involve the specific function of the IC, its integration level, power consumption, and compatibility with other system components. This category is essential for the functionality of almost every electronic device, from consumer gadgets to industrial machinery.

Codes often confused with 8542.39
Common mistake. This is the "catch-all" for ICs, so it's often confused with more specific IC categories like processors (854231) or memory (854232) if the primary function isn't clear, or even with discrete components if not clearly integrated.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 854239, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 854239 in UN Comtrade data was Taiwan, with about 27% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was China, with 26% 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).
