Recently, the China Semiconductor Industry Association released a notice regarding the “Rules for the Identification of the ‘Country of Origin’ of Semiconductor Products,” stating that according to the relevant provisions on non-preferential origin rules, the origin of “integrated circuits” is determined based on the four-digit tariff number change principle, meaning that the wafer fabrication site … Read more
Last night, U.S. stocks plummeted, leading to a triple whammy for stocks, currencies, and bonds.The crisis involving the U.S. dollar and bonds is actually unrelated to the A-shares.However, it is necessary to mention that:If there are any insiders on the other side, they should be aware that the pitfalls of U.S. bonds are currently significant, … Read more
Yesterday the China Semiconductor Industry Association issued a notice regarding the “Rules for the Recognition of the ‘Place of Origin’ of Semiconductor Products,” which suggests: “For ‘integrated circuits,’ whether packaged or unpackaged, the place of origin declared during import customs clearance should be based on the location of the ‘wafer fabrication factory.’” This news has … Read more
The China Semiconductor Industry Association issued a document to its member units on April 11, emphasizing the customs declaration principles regarding the origin of imported chips.According to the relevant regulations of the General Administration of Customs, the origin of “integrated circuits” is determined based on the four-digit tariff number change principle, meaning the wafer fabrication … Read more
The calculation of import tariffs on chips is based on wafer fabrication, and the reasoning is simple: it is to avoid increasing our costs due to countermeasures against the United States. As for the impact of wafer fabrication regulations on the chip capabilities of the U.S., it does not have much effect from the production … Read more
On April 11, the official WeChat account of the China Semiconductor Industry Association announced that the origin of “integrated circuits” will be determined based on the four-digit tariff code change principle, meaning that the wafer fabrication site will be recognized as the origin. This change in rules has completely rewritten the existing game rules 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
