All the information, data and documents are provided by ETCN only for your reference. ETCN promises to collect and edit them in due care but shall not be liable for their correction and accuracy. In case of any discrepancy, official versions and interpretations shall prevail.

This is in response to your letter, dated December 02, 2008, to the National Commodity Specialists Division of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) in which you requested a binding ruling, on behalf of Optrex America, Inc., on the tariff classification of certain liquid crystal display (“LCD”) modules under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (“HTSUS”). Your request was forwarded to this office for a response. In reaching this decision, we reviewed the product samples and schematics included with the submission.

The “A” prefix modules are LCD character displays used in automobiles. They contain drive circuitry capable of illuminating segments, characters or icons, but require an external microprocessor to instruct the drive circuitry to turn on or off. Model A-55362GZU-T-ACN is an automotive LCD radio display with message center capacity for Bluetooth connection status, climate control, a clock, and a compass. It contains approximately 25 segment-style characters, most of which display a full range of numbers and letters, and 50 permanently etched icons. The display measures approximately 7 inches in length, 2.5 inches in height, and 1 mm in thickness. Model A-55361GZU-T-ACN is an automotive LCD message display with radio, climate, and other limited display capabilities. It contains approximately 72 segment-style characters, most of which are capable of displaying a full range of numbers and letters, and 60 permanently etched icons. The display measures approximately 7 inches in length, 2.75 inches in height, and 1 mm in thickness.

The “T” prefix modules are thin-film transistor (“TFT”) LCD graphic displays for monitors of various types. As imported, the devices are not complete monitors; they contain drive circuitry, but lack a controller chip or card required to process signals. Models T-51863D150J-FW-A-AA and T-55336D175J-FW-A-AAN also lack an external power supply. Model T-51440GL070H-FW-AF is a 7 inch, 480 x 234 color display for automobile entertainment monitors. It is composed of a TFT cell, driver integrated circuits (“ICs”), a timing controller IC, a backlight unit, an inverter DC/DC converter, and a video circuit. Model T-51863D150J-FW-A-AA, is a 15 inch, 1034 x 768 XGA color display for monitors used in aviation and marine applications. It is composed of a TFT cell, driver ICs, a control circuit, a backlight unit, and a DC/DC converter. Model T-55336D175J-FW-A-AAN, is a 17.5 inch, 1280 x 768 WXGA color display for monitors used in medical and aviation applications. It is composed of a TFT cell, driver ICs, a control circuit, a backlight unit, and a DC/DC converter.

The classification of merchandise under the HTSUS is governed by the General Rules of Interpretation ("GRIs"). GRI 1 provides, in part, that "for legal purposes, classification shall be determined according to terms of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes[.]" In the event that the goods cannot be classified solely on the basis of GRI 1, and if the headings and legal notes do not otherwise require, the remaining GRIs may then be applied in order.

8531Electric sound or visual signaling apparatus (for example, bells, sirens, indicator panels, burglar or fire alarms), other than those of heading 8512 or 8530; parts thereof:

9013Liquid crystal devices not constituting articles provided for more specifically in other headings; lasers, other than laser diodes; other optical appliances and instruments, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter; parts and accessories thereof:

LCDs are prima facie classifiable in the following HTSUS headings: 8528, which provides for monitors and projectors not incorporating television reception apparatus; 8531, which provides for electric sound or visual signaling apparatus; and 9013, which provides for liquid crystal devices not provided for more specifically in other headings. By the terms of heading 9013, HTSUS, CBP first considers classification in headings 8528 and 8531, HTSUS. If an LCD does not meet the terms of those headings, it is classified in heading 9013, HTSUS. See Sharp Microelectronics Technology, Inc. v. United States, 932 F.Supp. 1499 (Ct. Int’l. Trade 1996), aff’d, 122 F.3d 1446 (Fed. Cir. 1997). See also Headquarters Ruling Letter (“HQ”) 959175, dated November 25, 1996.

You submit that the “A” prefix LCD character modules are classified in subheading 8531.20.00, HTSUS, as “Electric sound or visual signaling apparatus …: Indicator panels incorporating liquid crystal devices (LCD’s).”

Heading 8531, HTSUS, provides, in relevant part, for “Electric sound or visual signaling apparatus … other than those of heading 8512 or 8530.” The heading is a “use provision” subject to Additional U.S. Rule of Interpretation 1(a), which states that “[a] tariff classification controlled by use (other than actual use) is to be determined in accordance with the use in the United States at, or immediately prior to, the date of importation, of goods of that class or kind to which the imported goods belong, and the controlling use is the principal use.” See HQ 951288, dated July 7, 1992.

It is well established that only those LCDs which are limited by design and/or principal use to “signaling” are classifiable in heading 8531, HTSUS. See Optrex America, Inc. v. United States, 427 F. Supp. 2d 1177 (Ct. Int’l Trade 2006), aff’d, 475 F.3d 1367 (Fed. Cir. 2007) (“Optrex”). See also, HQ H02661, dated July 8, 2008, HQ H012694, dated August 31, 2007, and HQ H003880, dated March 27, 2007. In Optrex, the Court of International Trade (“CIT”) explained that to be classified as an indicator panel incorporating LCDs under heading 8531, HTSUS, “the article must belong to the class or kind of merchandise that is principally used to display limited information that is easily understood by the person viewing it.” Optrex, 427 F. Supp. 2d at 1198. Further, the CIT accorded the “80 character rule” – guidance developed by CBP to determine whether a character display module is principally used for signaling – “some deference” under Skidmore v. Swift & Co., 323 U.S. 134 (1944), as a reasonable interpretation. According to the 80 character rule, if a character display module can display no more than 80 characters, then, in the absence of any information to the contrary, it is deemed to belong to the class or kind of merchandise that is principally used for signaling. Optrex, at 1199.

In addition, the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System Explanatory Notes (“ENs”) to heading 8531 are fairly descriptive and restrictive as to the type of “signaling” indicator panels and the like must perform in order to be classified in that provision. EN 85.31 states, in relevant part:

(D) Indicator panels and the like. These are used (e.g., in offices, hotels and factories) for calling personnel, indicating where a certain person or service is required, indicating whether a room is free or not. They include:

In Optrex, the court classified LCD segmented character modules with permanently etched icons capable of displaying no more than 80 characters, and containing drive circuitry, in heading 8531, HTSUS, as signaling apparatus. See Optrex, 427 F. Supp. 2d at 1199, aff’d, 475 F.3d 1367 (Fed. Cir. 2007). The instant “A” prefix LCD character modules are similarly operationally limited to performing signaling functions. They contain permanently etched icons that display, in 80 characters or less, limited information of the type an automobile driver would easily understand, e.g., velocity in miles per hour, the time, the temperature, music controls, etc. Moreover, they include the drive circuitry necessary to illuminate a particular segment, character or icon in the LCD based on signals transmitted from an external microprocessor. The functions performed by these modules are akin to those performed by the products listed as exemplars in the ENs to heading 8531. As such, we conclude that the “A” prefix modules are classified in heading 8531, HTSUS, as signaling apparatus.

You submit that the “T” prefix TFT graphic display modules are classified in subheading 9013.80.70, HTSUS, as “Liquid crystal devices not constituting articles provided for more specifically in other headings; …: Other devices, appliances and instruments: Flat panel displays other than for articles of heading 8528, except subheadings 8528.51 or 8528.61 [of a kind solely or principally used in an automatic data processing (“ADP”) system of heading 8471].” As noted above, an LCD can only be classified in 9013, HTSUS, if it is not more specifically described elsewhere, namely, in heading 8528, HTSUS, as monitors, or in heading 8531, HTSUS, as signaling apparatus.

Heading 8528, HTSUS, provides, in pertinent part, for “Monitors and projectors, not incorporating television reception apparatus.” To be classified as a monitor, a device must be capable of accepting, processing, and transmitting video or ADP signals. The subject modules cannot be classified as monitors because, as imported, they lack the necessary circuitry to accept, process, and transmit a video or ADP signal. The modules are also beyond the scope of heading 8531, HTSUS, which provides for signaling apparatus, because their use is not limited to that of signaling. That is, if connected to the appropriate controller circuitry, they can display an unlimited number of images. Accordingly, we turn to heading 9013, HTSUS.

Heading 9013, HTSUS, provides, in pertinent part, for “Liquid crystal devices not constituting articles provided more specifically in other headings.” LCDs of heading 9013, HTSUS, can be classified under one of two subheadings: 9013.80.70 or 9013.80.90. Subheading 9013.80.70, HTSUS, provides for: “Other devices, appliances and instruments: Flat panel displays other than for articles of heading 8528, except subheadings 8528.51 or 8528.61 [of a kind solely or principally used in ADP system of heading 8471].”

The “T” prefix modules are flat panel displays for use in monitors of heading 8528, HTSUS. You did not provide sufficient evidence to show that the modules are “for” articles of subheadings 8528.51 (of a kind solely or principally used with an ADP system) or 8528.61 (projection monitors). Accordingly, the exception to subheading 9013.80.70, HTSUS, does not apply. We conclude that the modules are classified in subheading 9013.80.90, HTSUS, as: “Liquid crystal devices not constituting articles provided for more specifically in other headings; …: Other devices, appliances and instruments: Other.”

By application of GRI 1, the “A” prefix LCD modules, models A-55362GZU-T-ACN, A-55361GZU-T-ACN, are classified in heading 8531, specifically in subheading 8531.20.00, HTSUS, which provides for “Electric sound or visual signaling apparatus (for example, bells, sirens, indicator panels, burglar or fire alarms), other than those of heading 8512 or 8530; parts thereof: Indicator panels incorporating liquid crystal devices (LCD’s) for light emitting diodes (LED’s).” The 2009 column one, general rate of duty is Free.

By application of GRI 1, the “T” prefix TFT graphic display modules, models T-51440GL070H-FW-AF, T-51863D150J-FW-A-AA, and T-55336D175J-FW-A-AAN, are classified in heading 9013, specifically in subheading 9013.80.90, HTSUS, which provides for “Liquid crystal devices not constituting articles provided for more specifically in other headings; lasers, other than laser diodes; other optical appliances and instruments, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter; parts and accessories thereof: Other devices, appliances and instruments: Other.” The 2009 column one, general rate of duty is 4.5 percent ad valorem.

Among industry classification systems, Harmonized System (HS) Codes are commonly used throughout the export process for goods. The Harmonized System is a standardized numerical method of classifying traded products. It is used by customs authorities around the world to identify products when assessing duties and taxes and for gathering statistics.

The HS is administrated by the World Customs Organization (WCO) and is updated every five years. It serves as the foundation for the import and export classification systems used in the United States and by many trading partners.

The HS assigns specific six-digit codes for varying classifications and commodities. Countries are allowed to add longer codes to the first six digits for further classification.

The United States uses a 10-digit code to classify products for export, known as a Schedule B number, with the first six digits being the HS number. There is a Schedule B number for every physical product, from paper clips to airplanes. The Schedule B is administered by the U.S. Census Bureau’s Foreign Trade Division.

You will need both the U.S. Schedule B number and the foreign country’s version of the HS code for your product during the export process. You use it to:

The Census Bureau offers a free, widely used online Schedule B search tool that can help you classify your products. The Schedule B search tool is the most commonly used method for classifying products. The site provides training resources to help you better identify for your Schedule B number, as well as contact information for assistance.

If your product is difficult to classify, the Customs Rulings Online Search System (CROSS) database can help you find its Schedule B code. CROSS contains official, legally binding rulings from other exporters’ and importers’ requests for Schedule B codes. Use this database to determine whether other exporters or importers requested a ruling on the same or a similar product and, if so, what that ruling was.

Shipping multiple items as a set: For the most part, determining a product’s Schedule B code is straightforward. For example, an unassembled bicycle that is sold in a box containing the bicycle frame, handlebars, pedals, and seat is classified as a bicycle (because the item is sold as one unit) and not as several different components. Some sets, however, are harder to classify. Rule 3 of the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule addresses composite goods, mixtures, and items that are sold in a set. The GRI has established a three-step process for determining the Schedule B code in such situations; the introduction to the official Schedule B publication contains the relevant passage.

Textiles/Apparel shipped as a set:The rules that govern Schedule B codes for textiles and apparel sets are unique. Refer to GRI Chapter 50, Note 14 for more information.

To determine what the HS Code for your product is in another country, you can use a lookup tool in a foreign tariff database, such as the Customs Info Database.

The "Major Importers" listed comprise those which collectively account for up to 80% of all imports (in terms of $ value) for the selected city. This list does not include individuals or importers whose importer numbers are unavailable. The importer is not necessarily the end-user of the product.

The code above is a complete TARIC code. This means it can be used for import declarations for the EU. For export declarations, you can use the corresponding CN-code, which consists of the first eight digits of this code. Note that the first six digits of this code are the HS-code, which is the same internationally. When classifying a product, you need to check a lot of different data sources. You can find them all in our online platform, just one mouse click away.

We provide customs information for the UK, Switzerland and the EU, as well as national trade tariff information for many EU member stated, such as Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden and Germany.

Approximately 90 percent of all LCD modules are manufactured in mainland China. The remaining 10 percent are manufactured primarily between Japan and Taiwan, and some in Korea. China’s clear stronghold in manufacturing, coupled with its large volume of imports to the U.S., mean these tariffs will definitely impact the industry.

China uses joint venture requirements, foreign investment restrictions, and administrative review and licensing processes to require or pressure technology transfer from U.S. companies.

China conducts and supports cyber intrusions into U.S. commercial computer networks to gain unauthorized access to commercially valuable business information.

Unfortunately, while the USTR works to rectify inequities in these unfair practices, many American manufacturers will have to pay higher prices for their components. That works its way up the supply chain and can ultimately lead to higher prices for American consumers.

The USITC (Office of Tariff Affairs and Trade Agreements) is responsible for publishing the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated (HTSA). The HTSA provides the applicable tariff rates and statistical categories for all merchandise imported into the United States; it is based on the international Harmonized System, the global system of nomenclature that is used to describe most world trade in goods. Although the USITC publishes and maintains the HTSA in its various forms, Customs and Border Protection is the only agency that can provide legally binding advice or rulings on classification of imports.

Many people are asking about using alternate HTC codes with lower burden implications. Unfortunately, these codes are abundant and complicated. There should be exactly one code that properly categorizes your product.

When a display is designed and built for a single application, it may be more appropriate to use a harmonized tariff code for the end-product instead of the display component. An LCD in a cellphone is a good example of this.

A popular way to do this is to reevaluate your current HTC codes and make sure they’re correct. This can be done with in-house council or the use of a consultant specializing in this area of the government. Ultimately, however, you need get a ruling from the government to be certain you are using the correct code.

Finding a tariff code by perusing the USTR HTC tariff code list can be overwhelming and risky. If the code is chosen incorrectly, it can lead to fines and penalties from the USTR.

Some companies are searching for key suppliers outside of the China region and working towards qualifications of those factories. Others are exploring having key components of the purchased assembly outsourced outside of China so it still satisfies the correct definition of Country of Origin. Again, violating these definitions can lead to costly fines and penalties.
