Zero hydrogen fluoride exports to Korea

1 : 2019/09/27 (Friday) 11: 15: 30.36 ID: CAP_USER.net According to the August trade statistics (final report) released by the Ministry of Finance on the 27th, exports of hydrogen fluoride used for semiconductor manufacturing to South Korea became zero in both quantity and amount. In the same month of the previous year, 3378 tons were exported, and 2590 tons were exported in August two years ago. From July 4th, the Japanese government tightened export control of three semiconductor materials such as hydrogen fluoride to Korea. The effect was confirmed by statistics. Exports of hydrogen fluoride to South Korea were reduced to 479 tons in July, down 82% from the same month last year. According to the Korea Trade Association, the country's import of hydrogen fluoride is about 40%. At the end of August, the Japanese government announced that it had allowed exports to Korea for the first time after strict management. On the other hand, the export amount of fluorinated polyimide and resist, whose export controls have become stricter, similar to hydrogen fluoride, is unknown. The Ministry of Finance said, “Trade statistics items do not correspond one-on-one with the current export review”. Because the classification method is different, these two items cannot be accurately grasped. * Some excerpts from the link below.
