Welcome to Taiwan Tariff News and Tracker. In the latest developments, Taiwan continues to navigate challenging trade waters with the United States following President Trump's tariff policies implemented earlier this year.

As of May 2025, Taiwan is currently subject to a 10% baseline tariff on most imports to the United States. This represents a significant reduction from the initial 32% tariff announced by the Trump administration on April 2nd. The administration temporarily lowered the rate to allow for trade negotiations during a 90-day period ending July 9th, 2025.

Semiconductors and certain electronic goods have been temporarily exempted from these tariffs, providing some relief to Taiwan's critical tech industry. However, experts warn this exemption may be short-lived, creating ongoing uncertainty in Taiwan's most vital export sector.

The economic impact has been substantial. Taiwan's Executive Yuan has criticized the tariff rate as unfair, with Cabinet spokesperson Michelle Lee questioning the methodology behind the tariffs. With the United States accounting for approximately 25.7% of total Taiwanese exports as of March 2025, these trade measures directly affect Taiwan's economic outlook.

The Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research has projected that Taiwan's economic growth could be limited to just 1.66% this year due to tariff concerns. In a more optimistic scenario where tariffs remain at 10%, growth could reach 2.85%, but a worst-case scenario could see growth plummet to 0.16%.

Taiwan faces a particular disadvantage compared to regional competitors, with its 32% initial tariff rate higher than the 24% and 25% imposed on Japan and South Korea respectively. This comes despite Taiwan's substantial $165 billion investment in American semiconductor manufacturing.

President William Lai has published a roadmap for deeper trade ties between Taiwan and the United States, reportedly positioning Taiwan to be among the first countries with which the Trump Administration negotiates. However, trade experts suggest Taiwan may face tough negotiations ahead.

The outcome of these negotiations will have profound implications not just for Taiwan's economy but for the broader stability of US-Asia economic relations. Small and medium-sized enterprises across six manufacturing clusters with combined US exports exceeding NT$1.3 trillion are particularly vulnerable to these tariff measures.
