TV SKD Manufacturer for Local TV Assembly
Mianhong supplies semi-knocked-down (SKD) TVs for local assembly in your destination market, helping TV brands and importers evaluate solutions for local import tariffs and manufacturing requirements.
What Is SKD TV and How Does It Work?
Short answer: SKD (Semi-Knocked-Down) TV is a partially assembled television supplied for final assembly in the destination country. For markets where importing complete TVs under HS code 852872 involves high tariffs or other import restrictions, Mianhong works with customers to define which components are pre-assembled and which are shipped separately for local installation.
The SKD configuration is agreed upon based on your TV model, local assembly capabilities, and applicable import requirements.
What Components Are Pre-Assembled?
The TV body and agreed components can be pre-assembled at our factory before shipment. The exact configuration depends on the TV model and the agreed SKD BOM.
What Needs to Be Installed at the Destination?
Separately packed components, such as the mainboard and related wiring, are installed locally. The customer opens the rear cover, mounts the mainboard, connects the cables, and completes the agreed assembly steps.

Why Choose SKD TV Instead of Complete TV (CBU)?
For TV importers in markets such as Colombia, import duties can significantly affect the final cost of complete televisions. Where a 15% import duty applies to CBU TVs under the relevant tariff classification, importers may explore whether a suitable SKD configuration offers a more cost-effective route to market.
Mianhong works with TV brands, importers, and local assembly partners to define which components are pre-assembled at our factory and which are shipped separately for installation at the destination.
The goal is to evaluate the overall landed cost, including import duties, freight, packaging, local assembly, and other applicable expenses, before choosing between CBU and SKD.
| Comparison | CBU (Complete TV) | SKD (Semi-Knocked-Down TV) |
|---|---|---|
| Product condition | Complete television | Partially assembled television |
| Assembly location | Mainly at the factory | Final assembly partly at destination |
| Import duty | Depends on the applicable tariff classification | Depends on the classification and applicable rules for the imported goods |
| Packaging | Packed as a complete TV | Some components packed separately |
| Container loading | Generally more efficient | May be lower due to separate component packaging |
| Local assembly | Usually minimal | Requires local assembly capability |
| Cost strategy | Import and distribute finished products | Evaluate import costs alongside local assembly costs |
Our TV SKD Solutions Process
We Do 95% of the Work. You Finish the Last 5%.
We handle most of the manufacturing and pre-assembly at our factory, so you can complete the final assembly locally and explore opportunities to optimize import costs.
Step 1. Confirm TV Models and SKD Requirements
Our SKD solutions cover TV sizes from 24 to 115 inches. Share your target market, preferred models, order quantity, and local assembly requirements. We will work with you to identify suitable TV models and evaluate the right SKD approach for your project.
Step 2. Define the SKD Configuration and BOM
We prepare a model-specific Bill of Materials (BOM) and define which components will be pre-assembled at our factory and which will be packed separately for local installation. Packaging requirements and assembly details are confirmed before production.
Step 3. Pre-Assemble TVs and Pack Separate Components
Our factory completes the agreed pre-assembly work, while components designated for local installation are packed separately. Each SKD shipment follows the confirmed configuration to help ensure that the required components are ready for final assembly.
Step 4. Ship SKD Kits to Your Destination
We prepare the SKD kits for export according to the agreed packaging and shipping requirements. Your shipment includes the pre-assembled TV units and separately packed components needed to complete the agreed assembly process at your destination
Step 5. Complete Final Assembly Locally
Install the mainboard, connect the required cables, and complete the remaining assembly steps according to the agreed configuration. We can provide 4K assembly videos and, subject to project arrangements, on-site technical guidance to help your team follow the process. Standard Operating Procedure also provided.
