Overview

• The US Trade Representative has prolonged tariff exemptions on Chinese-made graphics cards and motherboards until May 31, 2025.
• This extension contradicts earlier expectations that Trump-era tariffs would be reinstated.
• The decision supports efforts to find alternative sources outside China, where availability remains limited.
• Numerous companies lobbied for the exemptions due to the scarcity of electronics manufacturing outside China.
• Other Chinese imports, including steel, aluminum, and electric vehicles, continue to face high tariffs.
