India is investigating LG Electronics and Samsung for alleged tariff evasion on imported OLED TV display parts, disputing the companies' application of a concessional 5% tariff, which Indian authorities say should be 15%. Both companies contest the investigation, asserting OLED technology aligns with LED tariffs, while industry groups lobby for tariff exemptions to support advanced OLEDs.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Consumer.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face tougher tariff scrutiny in India on OLED TV parts as authorities tighten classification rules. Contesting tariff classifications now can prevent costly penalties later and open market access if successful.
