# 美國對某些先進半導體進口徵收25%關稅。 *semiconductor · news · 2026-01-15 · NDTV Profit* ## Key points - 美國對特定先進半導體如Nvidia的H200及AMD的MI325X徵收25%關稅。 - Nvidia現在可在支付關稅後，將台灣製H200 AI處理器運往中國。 - 有例外允許這些晶片用於擴展美國技術供應鏈，以避免關稅。 - 對Nvidia出口中國的出貨仍需出口許可，且可能需數週或數月時間。 - 台灣高層官員正協商將美國關稅降至15%，並擴大台積電在美國的生產。 The US imposed a 25% tariff on imports of certain advanced semiconductors, a key step in an agreement blessed by President Donald Trump allowing Nvidia Corp. to ship Taiwan-made H200 artificial intelligence processors to China. Under an order Trump signed on Wednesday, the government would collect the duty on the chips as they're brought to the US before final shipment to Chinese customers and other foreign markets. Nvidia relies on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. to produce the chips it designs, including the H200 that was cleared for sale to China by Trump in December. “It's not the highest level, but it's a very good level. And China wants them, and other people want them, and we're going to be making 25% of the sale of those chips, basically,” Trump told reporters Wednesday during a signing ceremony. The president is holding off for now on applying tariffs to a broader swath of foreign-made chips, following an investigation under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act that found they harm US national security. Instead, he directed Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer to “pursue negotiation of agreements” on imports and to report back in 90 days, according to the proclamation he signed. Trump may announce new tariffs and an accompanying offset program to incentivize domestic manufacturing “in the near future,” a White House fact sheet said. The 25% tariff applies to “a very narrow category of semiconductors that are an important element of my administration's AI and technology policies,” the proclamation said. That includes the H200 and Advanced Micro Devices Inc.'s MI325X, according to the fact sheet. There is an exception for those chips that are “imported to support the buildout of the United States technology supply chain.” Trump signed the measure a day after the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security eased its criteria for securing licenses to export H200 chips to China. That surcharge is a condition Trump required in exchange for allowing Nvidia to sell in China. The US must still take additional actions before Nvidia can send the chips to China, including the approval of export licenses by BIS. That process can take weeks or months and it's unclear when it will conclude. Taiwanese products have generally faced a 20% tariff upon entering the US, though semiconductors have been spared as Commerce officials conduct a national security investigation into whether new levies should be applied across the chip sector. Trump has yet to follow on imposing tariffs, as negotiations with Taiwan and major technology companies continue. Top Taiwanese officials are traveling to Washington on Wednesday for talks on finalizing a deal to lower its overall tariff rate to 15% and expand TSMC production facilities in the US, according to people familiar with the matter. Trump's decision marked a significant victory for Nvidia, which has pushed US policymakers to loosen export controls that have kept the company from selling its AI chips to the world's largest semiconductor market. Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang has forged a close relationship with Trump and has used those ties to persuade the president that restrictions only boost Chinese domestic giants, such as Huawei Technologies Co. It's a turnabout from years of US policy that sought to limit Beijing's access to advanced American technologies and has provoked blowback from Democrats and national-security hawks in Washington who say the move will embolden an adversary that is keen on gaining ground in the AI race. Trump took a hard line against Beijing at the outset of his presidency, making good on a campaign promise to crack down on its economic practices. But after triggering a trade war by imposing sky-high tariffs on Chinese goods, he eased off his pressure campaign by striking a truce with President Xi Jinping. Trump also made it clear he's OK with doing some business with Beijing in sensitive areas, as long as the US government gets a financial cut. He teased that a similar arrangement on chip exports is in the works for other companies, including Intel Corp. and AMD. “This policy will support American Jobs, strengthen U.S. Manufacturing, and benefit American Taxpayers,” Trump posted on Dec. 8. **Companies:** Nvidia Corp., Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Advanced Micro Devices Inc., Intel Corp. **Countries:** United States, China, Taiwan [Read the full story on NDTV Profit](https://www.ndtvprofit.com/world/us-sets-25-tariff-on-some-chip-sales-as-part-of-nvidia-deal-10753750) --- Canonical: https://newsio.io/zh-TW/n/47ed1e48-30da-496c-97c7-1dc71b9c1e27/25nvidiah200 Summarized by Newsio from NDTV Profit. https://newsio.io/how-it-works
