Manufacture in Taiwan with Lower U.S. Tariffs
Stable Supply. Competitive Landed Cost. Engineering-Driven Injection Molding.
U.S. import tariffs reduced to 15% • Parity with Japan & Korea • Built for long-term OEM programs
The newly finalized Taiwan–U.S. Trade Agreement has reduced U.S. import tariffs on Taiwanese products from 20% to 15%, restoring competitive parity with Japan and South Korea.
For U.S. companies sourcing plastic injection molded parts, tooling, and industrial components, this change delivers something critical:
cost predictability without sacrificing engineering quality or supply reliability.
At TaiwanMoldMaker.com, we help U.S. buyers convert this policy shift into measurable manufacturing advantage.
Why U.S. Buyers Are Re-Evaluating Taiwan Now
For the past year, elevated tariffs distorted sourcing decisions. That uncertainty is now removed.
What’s changed:
-
✔ Tariffs capped at 15%, aligned with Japan & Korea
-
✔ Taiwan recognized as a core U.S. supply-chain partner
-
✔ Reduced risk of sudden duty escalation
-
✔ Renewed RFQ activity across industrial and plastics sectors
This is not a short-term incentive—it’s a structural reset.
What This Means for Your Plastic Injection Molding Program
Predictable landed cost
With tariffs finalized, you can lock pricing, approve tooling, and plan multi-year programs without contingency buffers inflating cost.
Engineering value back in focus
Supplier selection can return to what actually matters:
-
Mold quality
-
Part consistency
-
Lead-time reliability
-
Process control
Lower total cost of ownership
A 15% tariff on a well-engineered, low-defect part is often more economical than a higher-risk, lower-capability alternative.

Why Not “Lowest Cost” Countries?
Some regions still face:
-
Higher or volatile tariffs
-
Transshipment scrutiny
-
Longer lead times
-
Quality inconsistency
Taiwan offers a different model:
stable policy alignment + high engineering density + predictable execution.
That combination matters more than nominal unit price.
What U.S. Buyers Typically Ask Us
Can you support long-term supply, not just tooling?
Yes. We plan capacity and production around ongoing OEM demand.
Do you support U.S. quality and documentation expectations?
Yes. Our processes are built for export programs with traceability and repeatability.
Is Taiwan still competitive after tariffs?
At 15%, Taiwan is competitive because defects, delays, and redesigns cost more than duties.
