Tariffs

We are committed to transparency and keeping you informed about factors that can influence your purchasing experience. Due to varying global trade policies, tariffs on semiconductors may affect the pricing of our products. Please be aware that pricing can change between your order and delivery without prior notice.

Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 grants the USTR the authority to investigate and take action against foreign practices deemed unfair or detrimental to U.S. commerce. Since 2018, the U.S. has used Section 301 tariffs to target Chinese imports, citing unfair practices such as forced technology transfers, intellectual property theft, and market restrictions. These tariffs were originally introduced with the intention of pressuring China to address these concerns. See the USTR documents linked below, outlining products impacted by 301 tariffs, listed by Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) codes:

The International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1977 grants the President of the United States the power to regulate commerce after declaring a national emergency in response to any unusual and extraordinary threat to the country that originates from abroad. IEEPA tariffs may cover a broader range of products compared to other tariffs and can be stacked on top of other tariffs. These tariffs have been imposed since 2018. IEEPA tariffs are ineligible for duty drawback.

Reciprocal tariffs under the IEEPA are designed to match the customs duties and non-tariff barriers imposed by trading partners on U.S. exports. The reciprocal tariffs apply at different rates by country. 

Since the inception of these tariffs, we have been proactive in managing their impact on our supply chain. We will be sure to continuously evaluate and adjust our pricing to reflect the dynamic tariff environment.
