This is one of the tariffs on China from Trump's first term, which he then paused and the pause kept on being extended throughout the Biden administration.
Trump administration extends tariff pause on Chinese-made chips for 90 days
The Trump administration has extended a long-running exemption for Chinese-made chips from a 25 percent tariff imposed during President Trump’s first administration.
The office of U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said in a notice posted Saturday it was extending the exemption, set to expire that day, to Aug. 31.
The 25 percent tariff, which initially went into effect in 2019, would have applied to a variety of products, including graphics processing units — the chips at the heart of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom.
The extension of the years-long tariff exemption comes as the second Trump administration weighs whether to impose separate import taxes on semiconductors.
