South Korea's trade minister says a U.S. proclamation imposing a 25% tariff on certain advanced computing chips would have a limited impact on South Korean companies.
The new 25% U.S. chip tariffs primarily target advanced chips by Nvidia and AMD.
KEY POINTS
- South Korean memory chip exports are currently excluded from the initial U.S. tariff scope.
- Potential future tariff expansions remain uncertain, including which products or companies may be affected.
- Tariffs will not apply to chips used in U.S. data centers, startups, or public sector applications.
- This action follows a nine-month Section 232 investigation under the U.S. Trade Expansion Act of 1962.
