U.S. imports of liquid crystal flat panel display modules (with drivers or controls) (HS 852491) totaled $115.4M in April 2026, traded with 40 countries.
Importers of Liquid Crystal Flat Panel Display Modules (with Drivers or Controls) paid $4.0M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 18% on $22.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataUnlike their counterparts under 852411, liquid crystal flat panel display modules classified here incorporate integrated driver or control circuits, making them more complete assemblies ready for direct integration into finished products. Japan leads US supply under this heading, with China and Taiwan also significant — a supplier mix that spans both Section 301-exposed and non-Section 301 origins. The US schedule splits the heading into two 10-digit lines, 8524911000 and 8524919000, with the distinction typically tied to the specific type or application of the module. These assemblies are critical intermediate inputs for the consumer electronics, medical imaging, and industrial automation sectors.

The dividing line is the presence of integrated driver or control circuits within the module assembly. If the module contains such circuitry — even if not a fully finished display — it classifies under 852491. Importers should request a circuit-level technical specification from the manufacturer and retain it as part of the entry record in case of CBP inquiry.
Chinese-origin LCD modules with drivers are subject to Section 301 tariffs, while Japanese and Taiwanese units are not, creating a meaningful landed-cost differential. However, concentrating purchases in Japan or Taiwan introduces capacity and lead-time risk given the limited number of large-scale LCD fabs outside China. Buyers often maintain dual-source agreements across at least two of these origins to balance cost and supply continuity.
