原文內容:
President Donald Trump’s administration exempted smartphones, computers and
other electronics from its so-called reciprocal tariffs, potentially
cushioning consumers from sticker shock while benefiting electronics giants
including Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co.
The exclusions, published late Friday by US Customs and Border Protection,
narrow the scope of the levies by excluding the products from Trump’s 125%
China tariff and his baseline 10% global tariff on nearly all other countries.
The exclusions would apply to smartphones, laptop computers, hard drives and
computer processors and memory chips. Those popular consumer electronics
items generally aren’t made in the US. Setting up domestic manufacturing
would take years.
The products that won’t be subject to Trump’s new tariffs also include
machines used to make semiconductors. That would be important for Taiwan
Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., which has announced a major new investment
in the US as well as other chipmakers.
The tariff reprieve may prove fleeting. The exclusions stem from the initial
order, which prevented extra tariffs on certain sectors from stacking
cumulatively on top of the country-wide rates. The exclusion is a sign that
the products may soon be subject to a different tariff, albeit almost surely
a lower one for China.
One such exclusion was for semiconductors, to which Trump has regularly
pledged to apply a specific tariff. He hasn’t yet done so but the latest
exclusions appear to correspond with that exemption. Trump’s sectoral
tariffs have so far been set at 25%, though it’s not clear what his rate on
semiconductors and related products would be.
The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
美國總統川普政府宣布,智慧型手機、電腦及其他電子產品將不受其所謂的「對等關稅」
限制,這項措施可能有助於減輕消費者面臨的價格衝擊,同時讓蘋果公司(Apple Inc.)
與三星電子(Samsung Electronics Co.)等電子業巨頭受惠。
這項豁免措施由美國海關與邊境保護局(CBP)於週五晚間公布,縮小了原本廣泛課徵關
稅的範圍,使這些產品免於川普對中國所加徵的 125% 關稅,以及對幾乎所有其他國家課
徵的 10% 全球基準關稅。
獲得豁免的產品包括智慧型手機、筆記型電腦、硬碟、處理器與記憶體晶片。這些熱門的
消費性電子產品通常不是在美國生產,要在美國設立相關製造業需要數年時間。
豁免名單中也包含用於製造半導體的機器,這對於台積電(TSMC)及其他宣布在美國投資
的晶片製造商而言非常重要。
然而,這項關稅減免可能只是暫時性的。這些豁免來自初步命令,其目的是避免對特定產
業加徵的額外關稅,與全國性關稅「重疊課徵」。這也意味著,這些產品未來仍可能受到
其他類型的關稅限制,儘管對中國而言,新關稅的稅率幾乎可以確定會低於目前的高額稅
率。
以半導體為例,這類產品目前獲得豁免,但川普過去曾多次承諾要對其課徵專屬關稅,雖
然尚未正式實施。目前他的產業類別關稅普遍設定在 25%,但尚不清楚他是否會對半導體
及相關產品課以相同稅率。
白宮目前尚未回應相關置評請求。
心得/評論:
補一個彭博發的新聞
裡面比較多詳細資訊
不過內容又跟之前報導有些差異
多空留給各位判斷了 @V@b
