According to the relevant regulations of the General Administration of Customs, the place of origin of an “integrated circuit” is determined according to the four-digit tariff code change principle, that is, the field of origin is recognized as the place of origin. In response, the China Semiconductor Industry Association suggests that regardless of whether an “integrated circuit” is packaged or unpackaged, the place of origin at the time of import customs declaration shall be declared based on the location of the “wafer flow sheet factory”. The reporter noticed that after this article was published, the market interpreted it in various ways, and there was no shortage of misinterpretations. According to an anonymous person from the China Semiconductor Industry Association, the rules for determining the “origin” of semiconductor products issued on its official platform on April 11 are not a new policy issued a few days ago. The source said that as an importer of integrated circuits for a long time, China has insisted on zero tariffs and contributed greatly to the sustainable development and innovation of the global semiconductor industry. However, with the current global trade system being unilaterally broken, this tweet helps the industry to unify its understanding and conduct business according to regulations by understanding the relevant regulations that the Chinese government has already clarified.
