Do we have to assemble products in USA?

Hello Business Experts,

Do we have to assemble products in USA in order that our electronic products are entitled to USA tariff exemption?

Please check the specific import/export classifications and tariff details as it is country and equipment dependent.

Much too soon to give you a good answer. It will depend on a great many things, about how the situation re. USA develops and the type of product and where the parts in it come from.

If you would make a device from mainly Chinese origin parts with today's tariff situation, you would pay a huge amount to bring the components in. But if you will sell 50% of the product you make in USA and the rest elsewhere it might make sense to manufacture in, for example, Japan and pay a 10% tariff to get the product into the USA.

The rules are changing every day - the only certainty is that nothing is certain.

If you have a choice, and are not based in the US, concentrate on other markets for while.

A very unwise man once said, "The army of millions and millions of human beings screwing in little screws to make iPhones — that kind of thing is going to come to America." Anyway, that's the world we're living in.
