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.

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.
