tft lcd made in china

RE:Country of origin; Thin Film Transistor (TFT); Liquid Crystal Display (LCD); TFT/LCD module; PCB; flat panel display computer monitor; marking; outermost container; ultimate purchaser; substantial transformation; Hitachi; Japan; China; HRL 560427; 19 CFR 134.1(a); 134.32(d).

This is in reply to your letter, dated April 8, 2002. In that letter, you requested a ruling on the country of origin marking requirements for TFT- LCD modules assembled in China of Japanese components and imported into the United States to be used to make notebook computer monitors and flat panel desktop computer monitors. Our response follows.

Hitachi will produce finished thin film transistor (TFT)/liquid crystal display (LCD) modules that will be imported into the United States. The two products at issue are: 1) TFT/LCD modules for use with notebook computers; and 2) a Super IPS (In Plane Switching) TFT-LCD module to make flat panel desktop computer monitors.

You state that although the Japanese-origin TFT-LCD Cell is the primary component, the Japanese components are substantially transformed in China when they are assembled into a TFT-LCD module in China. You contend that the components, which include the PCB, Back Light Unit (with CFL), tape, frame, cables, and the TFT-LCD Cell, when assembled result in a different commercial article, that is, a completed TFT-LCD module ready for use to manufacture notebook computer monitors or flat panel desktop computer monitors.

A representative of your company stated by telephone on April 24, 2002, that after importation of the finished TFT-LCD modules into the U.S., your company stores them in a warehouse as part of your company’s inventory. When a customer orders the modules, they are shipped to the customer. Your representative stated that because the imported articles are highly sensitive and fragile, your company does not normally repackage the imported articles. Your company’s customers then incorporate the TFT-LCD modules into a monitor when manufacturing their final computer product. In other words, the modules are not ready to be used as monitors when imported into the U.S. because they lack components such as the frame, power supply, driver, et cetera and must be further processed in the United States.

What are the country of origin marking requirements for finished TFT-LCD modules assembled in China from Japanese components and imported into the United States to be used for manufacturing notebook computer monitors and flat panel desktop computer monitors?

Based on the facts provided, it is our opinion that the assembly of various components used in producing the TFT/LCD module in China, including the Back Light Unit which is made in China from approximately 12 components, effects a substantial transformation of the individual components. The individual components, most of which are made in Japan, lose their identity and become integral part of the new article – TFT/LCD module. The assembly operations are also not minimal or simple. Thus, the TFT/LCD module as imported into the United States qualifies as a product of China and therefore should be marked as such.

In HRL 560427, the LCD module was made in Japan and imported into the U.S. The LCD module was then combined with nine other U.S. components to manufacture the final Flat Panel TFT/LCD monitor for personal computers. Customs ruled that the Japanese-origin LCD module was substantially transformed in the U.S. when incorporated into the monitor in the U.S. Similarly, in the instant case, the TFT/LCD module made in China will be incorporated in the United States into flat panel desktop computer monitors and notebook computer monitors manufactured by your customers.

In the instant case, unlike the case in 560247, the importer is not the manufacturer or the processor. However, subject to the terms of 19 C.F.R. § 134.35(a) and 19 C.F.R. § 134.1(d)(1), your company’s customers, who use the imported TFT/LCD modules to produce the flat panel desktop computer monitors and notebook computer monitors in the United States would be considered the ultimate purchasers. Therefore, as in HRL 560247, the imported article in the instant case qualifies for the marking exception provided in 19 C.F.R. § 134.35(a) and 19 C.F.R. § 134.32(d). Consequently, the country of origin marking requirements may be met in the instant case by having the imported articles’ containers (i.e. boxes or other containers that hold the modules) marked with the country of origin, assuming that those containers also reach your customers.

For the foregoing reasons and based on the facts provided, the TFT/LCD modules are products of China and therefore should be so marked. However, because the TFT/LCD modules will be used by your customers to manufacture flat panel desktop computer monitors and notebook computer monitors in the United States, your customers are the ultimate purchasers. Therefore, the marking requirements may be met by marking the containers of the imported articles with their country of origin, assuming that your customers receive the articles in those containers.
