Each 1% tariff hike could add US$3.5B to US fab costs, SIA warns
What happened
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) urged the Trump administration to reduce tariffs on imported semiconductor materials and equipment, warning that higher costs could undermine US fab investments. In a report and accompanying briefing, the group also called for stronger supply-chain cooperation with allied countries, because domestic production currently supplies only 21% of the materials and equipment used by the US semiconductor industry. The report's title states that SIA warned each 1% tariff hike could add US$3.5B to US fab costs. This is an industry association's urging and warning, not an implemented policy change.
