With the latest U.S. tariffs taking effect, Taiwanese exports to the U.S., particularly from traditional industries, could face serious costs from tariff stacking. While final tariffs on Taiwan’s semiconductor products are pending, other industry exporters in textiles – who originally faced tariffs of about 10-20% – are now seeing rates rise to 30-40%. Other sectors are seeing similar hikes. Agricultural and fishery products are now subject to 20% tariffs, up from zero.
