The President of the United States of America has issued Proclamation 11002 addressing the US import of semiconductors, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and their derivative products from all countries. Covered products will be subject to a 25 percent ad valorem duty rate effective on goods entered on or after 12:01am ET January 15th, 2026. The semiconductor articles would need to meet certain technical parameters which are provided for in US Note 39(b) to subchapter III of chapter 99, classifiable in HTSUS 8471.50, 8471.80 and 8473.30 to be assessed the 25% additional duty.
We ask our importers to review the guidance to confirm if your goods are subject or not, and to indicate such on the customs documentation for proper reporting.
