The reinstatement of tariffs by the U.S. on Chinese goods has yet again been postponed, averting the possibility of higher prices on computer parts such as graphics cards (via PCMag). The tariffs were originally slated to return by the end of 2023, but a last-minute extension was made that pushed the date to May 31.
There are 437 products impacted by the tariffs, including the components needed to make computer parts such as printed circuit boards (PCBs), as well as computer parts themselves: graphics cards, motherboards, and SSDs. These products would have gotten more expensive in 2024 if the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) didn't announce on Dec. 26 that the tariffs wouldn't return until May 31.
