NEW YORK, Jan. 14 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday ordered an additional 25 percent tariff on imports of some advanced microchips, which will take effect Thursday.
On the White House website, D. Trump stated that the tariffs will remain in place unless they are “clearly reduced, modified, or eliminated.”
“These duties are in addition to any other duties, fees, taxes, and charges applicable to such imported semiconductors, unless otherwise specified below,” the decree states.
D. Trump cited national security concerns regarding tariffs on semiconductor imports. Certain advanced microchips and certain derivative products described in the executive order are considered "imports of which do not contribute to the development of the U.S. technological supply chain or to the strengthening of domestic semiconductor manufacturing capacity."
The order contains exemptions that do not apply to imports of specified products for use in U.S. data centers, for repair or replacement in the U.S., for research and development in the U.S., for start-ups in the U.S., for non-data center consumer applications in the U.S., for use in non-data center civilian industrial applications in the U.S., and for use in U.S. government sector applications.
Exemptions also apply to specified products for other purposes that are determined to contribute to the strengthening of the U.S. semiconductor derivatives supply chain or domestic manufacturing capacity. –0–
