Rule Rewrite: The Battle for a Chip’s ‘Birth Certificate’ The new origin rules released by the China Semiconductor Industry Association on April 11 are like a deep-water bomb dropped into a calm lake—integrated circuit origin certification is shifting from ‘label tracing’ to ‘wafer origin certification’. This seemingly technical adjustment is triggering an ‘ID revolution’ in … Read more
1. Policy Background and Essence of the Rules On April 11, 2025, the China Semiconductor Industry Association issued an urgent notice clarifying that the origin of integrated circuits is determined by the “wafer fab location”. This rule is not a new policy but a reiteration and refinement of the long-standing “four-digit tariff number change principle” … Read more
According to the “Emergency Notice on the Origin Certification Rules for Semiconductor Products” issued by the China Semiconductor Industry Association on April 11, 2025, the origin certification standards for integrated circuit products have been clearly adjusted to be based on the wafer fabrication location. The introduction of this rule directly affects the international trade compliance … Read more
Click the blue text to follow us On April 11, the China Semiconductor Industry Association issued an “Emergency Notice on the Identification Rules for the ‘Origin’ of Semiconductor Products,” clearly defining the origin of integrated circuits as the “wafer fabrication location”.

In the global semiconductor industry landscape, the formation of foundry locations (chip trial production bases) as places of origin is the result of multiple historical factors and current conditions intertwining. This article will systematically analyze the deep-seated motivations for regions such as Taiwan, South Korea, and the United States becoming core foundry bases from the … Read more
Antarctic Bear Guide: 3D printing may become a powerful tool to break through the high-tariff era, especially for countries and regions with underdeveloped manufacturing industries. Starting April 2025, the Trump administration in the U.S. will impose a 25% tariff on all imported passenger cars, light trucks, and certain automotive parts. Although the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement … Read more
Since the outbreak of the US-China trade war in 2018, the escalation in 2025 has pushed the global supply chain to a new crossroads. The US has imposed a 145% tariff on Chinese goods, while China has retaliated with precise measures targeting the lifeblood of American agriculture. The competition between the two has evolved from … Read more
