Comment on Trump says he plans to put a 100% tariff on computer chips, likely pushing up cost of electronics
arcterus@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 weeks agoLooking into it, the US implementation goes down into the components, so yes. Except, I believe it'd be $50 chip @ 100%, other components at whatever tariff rates they may have, and then the 15% per-country/region tariff applies to all of it on top. So if the other components have no tariffs, it'd be $172.50. I'm now wondering how expensive everything would end up if you have tariffs on materials as well.

Yeah, I’m guessing if you just imported the wafers but did packaging in the US, you could probably get an exception. But I’m not well-versed in the law to know.
