Electronics Industry Members Encouraged to Respond Immediately to Tariff Survey

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

The Global Electronics Association is seeking immediate input from the electronics industry on how U.S. tariffs are affecting imported inputs to electronics manufacturing and assembly, including equipment, parts, components, and sub-assemblies. Access the survey here. 

The survey was announced during a webinar, “Supreme Court Strikes IEEPA Tariffs: What It Means for Electronics,” hosted by the Association on Feb. 24. Presentations made by the Association’s partners at Squire Patton Boggs summarized the situation as clear: IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs.

In response to the Supreme Court’s decision, they stated, President Trump immediately invoked Section 122 of the Tariff and Trade Act of 1974 and has imposed a 10% reciprocal across-the-board tariff rate, effective for the next 150 days, expiring July 24, 2026, per Section 122 stipulations. President Trump is also invoking several other sections in an attempt to regain tariff powers.

Though there is much that will be argued and examined over the next 150 days and beyond, the presenters stated, it appears that small and medium-sized businesses and those without the representation of large professional associations to represent their interests will be most affected.

I-Connect007 supports the Global Electronics Association in its efforts to gather information about the tariffs and encourages the industry to respond quickly to this survey.
