All printed circuit boards (PCBs) manufactured in China, regardless of layer count, are at this time subject to the following duties: *

• 25% Section 301 (unless excluded; exclusions are set to expire May 31 for 2 and 4-layer rigid PCBs)

• 20% IEEPA (the 10% imposed on February 4 and another 10% on March 4)

• 10% reciprocal as of April 5

• 34% reciprocal (China-specific, as of April 9)

Our understanding is that, as of April 9, it will be 25% (Section 301), 20% (IEEPA) and 34% (reciprocal) = 𝟳𝟵% 𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗳𝘀.

As mentioned above, 2- and 4-layer PCBs are excluded (until May 31) from the Section 301 Tariffs, meaning a total of 54% in tariffs shall apply.

For other major PCB-producing countries, reciprocal tariffs to take effect April 9 are:

India: 26%
Korea: 25%
Malaysia: 24%
Taiwan: 32%
Thailand: 36%
Vietnam: 46%
