US Extends Tariff Exemptions on GPUs and Motherboards Until 2025
Biden administration's decision maintains current status for another year, aiding consumers and PC vendors.
- 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.
