Comment on Trump says he plans to put a 100% tariff on computer chips, likely pushing up cost of electronics
can@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks agoThe tariffs only apply to the imported products. That’s how tariffs work.
Right.
If you import components into a US product then you only pay the tariff on those components, not the entire product.
Isn’t that in agreement with OP? Any products made in USA that contain chips will cost more to make due to the 100% tariff on the chips.

No, OP said it only applied to US products. It's applied to all imported products. That's what a tariff is.

So any product containing chips will have a 100% tariff applied?

It’ll probably be 100% tariff for the chip, and whatever the rate is for that country on the rest of the product. That’s assuming they go into that much detail, because if they don’t, it would be easy to dodge.

I import exhaust parts made from steel. They are tarriffs as exhaust parts. Raw steel has its own import HTS code.

Yes, and since those products are only imported, it won't affect US products, like I said.
