South Korea's trade minister said a US proclamation imposing a 25 per cent tariff on certain advanced computing chips would have a limited impact on South Korean companies.
The new US tariffs only target advanced computing chips like Nvidia's H200 and AMD's MI325X.
KEY POINTS
- South Korean memory chips, the country's main export, are currently excluded from these tariffs.
- US Commerce Secretary warned tariffs up to 100% if South Korean and Taiwanese firms don't invest in US production.
- Future tariff expansion may broaden to more semiconductors and derivative products beyond the initial scope.
