The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) has once again kicked the can down the road on reinstating a 25% tariff on graphics cards and related PC hardware imported from China. The exemption, originally set to expire on August 31, has now been extended until November 29, 2025.
This means that GPUs, motherboards, and SSDs assembled in China can continue shipping into the U.S. without a hefty import tax for at least another three months. The agency cited public comments and ongoing supply chain constraints as justification, while also admitting that alternative sources outside China still aren’t ready to take on the load.
