US EditionUS plans to impose tariffs on Chinese chips in mid-2027, USTR says
The U.S. will raise tariffs on Chinese semiconductor imports from 0% to an announced higher rate in June 2027 after a year-long probe found unfair Chinese trade practices.
- On December 23, 2025, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative announced tariffs on Chinese semiconductors starting June 23, 2027, ending the current zero‑duty regime.
- Following a year-long probe, the USTR concluded on December 23, 2024, that China used 'sweeping non-market policies' to capture global semiconductor market share.
- The USTR said China targets every major segment of the semiconductor supply chain, including fabrication, design, assembly, testing and packaging, and the notice said this has severely disadvantaged U.S. companies and workers.
- The Notice of Action specifies a phased implementation with an initial 0 per cent rate now and the tariff set to rise on June 23, 2027, announced 30 days before the deadline.
- Seen broadly, the action targets China's industrial strategy, with the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative framing it as harming U.S. companies and workers across the global semiconductor supply chain after a year-long probe.

In a Federal Register filing submitted on Tuesday, the U.S. Trade Representative announced that it would apply 0% additional tariffs on Chinese semiconductor imports. The administration will then determine a new tariff rate at least …
White House holds off on new China chip tariffs
The US accused China of unfair trade practices in the semiconductor industry, but held off on imposing new tariffs on Chinese chip imports amid the uneasy trade truce between the superpowers. Washington’s nearly yearlong inquiry into China’s chip sector found that Beijing was employing “increasingly aggressive” policies to dominate the industry. The US suggested that future duties were on the table, creating leverage for Washington if the trade …
US to Impose China Chip Tariffs in 2027
The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) on Dec. 22 announced the results of a Section 301 investigation into China’s targeting of the semiconductor industry, determining that tariffs were necessary but would be delayed until June 23, 2027. The office under the Biden administration had initiated the investigation one year ago. The USTR said that zero percent tariffs will go into effect on Dec. 23, increasing to “a rate to be announced”…
