The China Semiconductor Industry Association issued an urgent notice regarding the rules for determining the "origin" of semiconductor products. According to the relevant regulations of the General Administration of Customs, the origin of "integrated circuits" is determined based on the principle of a change in the four-digit tariff code, meaning the location of the wafer fabrication is recognized as the origin. Please prepare PO certification materials for declaration to facilitate customs verification. For specific regulations, everyone is advised to carefully study the content of "Regulation No. 122 of the General Administration of Customs on the Standards for Substantial Transformation in Non-Preferential Rules of Origin." The China Semiconductor Industry Association recommends that, whether packaged or unpackaged, the origin of "integrated circuits" for import declaration should be reported based on the location of the "wafer fabrication plant.
