HS HEADING 8524

Flat panel display modules, whether or not incorporating touch-sensitive screens

In plain English

This category covers flat panel display modules, which may include touch-sensitive screens. The items are divided based on whether they have drivers or control circuits attached. Within each group, the goods are further separated by their display technology, specifically distinguishing between liquid crystals, organic light-emitting diodes, and other types.

Chapter 85 classification notes

High-value electronics. Many products duty-free under ITA/ITA-2. Anti-dumping duties on solar panels from China in US and EU. Lithium battery transport regulations (IATA DGR) apply in addition to customs. CE/FCC/UKCA marking requirements.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Many importers confuse 85 (electrical) and 84 (mechanical). A device with both elements usually classifies by principal function. Chargers and adapters classified separately from the device they charge.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
