Will US/China Tariffs Result In More Affordable Or Expensive GPUs Reaching The UK?
Will US/China Tariffs Result In More Affordable Or Expensive GPUs Reaching The UK?
Not really thinking about that they lack enforcement or awareness of where it’s actually produced. The rules for labeling something as “made in” originate from the country where the product was assembled, not where it’s being imported. The US can’t inspect a warehouse in Moldova or Senegal.
It seems to be more about countries then, isn’t it?
Your point is essentially that there are no regulations. Or it means we focus on the importing nations’ control over product standards.
Flat incorrect and a complete misinterpretation of international trade rules.
US regulations stipulate that every foreign-made product entering the United States must clearly display the English name of its country of origin. These rules determine how the origin is identified. You may label items as "Made in Romania" locally, but if you plan to sell them abroad, you must follow the labeling requirements of the destination country. Likewise, EU imports must comply with EU standards, not those of the producing nation.
If you're questioning this, you're referring to illegal import practices, which is a separate issue and not the focus here. My concern is that genuine U.S. businesses won't pursue such fraudulent claims to lower prices for consumers, especially when major manufacturers like NVIDIA are already prominent in Luxembourg.
It might help to read this carefully.
A shift in the good’s name, character, or use caused by manufacturing or processing in the final production country can lead to changes. However, not all three factors need to be present for a significant transformation to occur.
Just placing a ready-made harness into a shell would work. Installing the cooler and updating the BIOS on a GPU would meet the criteria. Since decisions are made on a case-by-case basis, they often rely on import regulations or simply avoid imports due to lengthy processes and strict requirements—such as ensuring products are labeled “made in Britain,” which demands that 80% of the value chain be based in Britain.
If only you continued reading. Building on that statement:
"The analysis checks if the ‘parts lose their identity and merge into a new product.’ Assembly tasks that are “minimal or straightforward,” [my emphasis] rather than “meaningful or intricate,” usually won’t lead to a major change."
So yes,
just inserting a ready-made harness into a shell would likely fail.
Regarding the rest, the process is often slow, yet people still do it. If you believe governments invest so much time drafting import regulations and negotiating trade deals that they eventually stop bothering to verify things, you don’t really grasp how international trade functions."
Heard on the local radio this morning about an agreement, recalling that there will be a 30% tariff on goods entering the USA and 10% into China. I believe this is favorable for 90 days now, though it might impact balances later.
