On April 11, the China Semiconductor Industry Association issued an "Emergency Notice on the Rules for Determining the "Origin" of Semiconductor Products". Notice reminder: According to the relevant regulations of the General Administration of Customs, the origin of "integrated circuits" is determined according to the principle of changing the four-digit tariff number, that is, the wafer production site is determined as the origin. Please prepare PO certification materials when declaring for customs verification. For specific regulations, please pay attention to the content of "General Administration of Customs Order No. 122 on the Standards for Substantial Changes in Non-Preferential Rules of Origin".
The China Semiconductor Industry Association recommends that the origin of "integrated circuits", whether packaged or unpackaged, should be declared based on the location of the "wafer fabrication factory" when declaring import customs.
Han Juke, vice president of the China Communications Industry Association, said in an interview with Securities Daily that wafer manufacturing (tapeout) is the most core and technically demanding link in the semiconductor industry chain, which directly determines the chip manufacturing process. Using the tapeout location as the origin can more accurately identify the true technical source of the chip and avoid blurring the ownership of key technologies through the packaging location (usually a labor-intensive area). At the same time, this move is also a key step in China's independent and controllable strategy for the semiconductor industry chain, which is in line with international trade rules and provides institutional guarantees for domestic industrial upgrading. In the future, with the accumulation of origin data, China's policy formulation and market regulation in the semiconductor field will be more targeteed.
