The U.S. Trade Representative's April 2025 modifications to Section 301 tariffs have reshaped import duties on Chinese-made silicone products. Key changes include:
Rubber goods tariff increases: Jumping from 7.5% to 12% for vulcanized rubber items (HTS 4008)
Silicone-specific adjustments: Medical-grade silicone tubing now faces 15% duty (up from 10%)
Exemption removals: Previous waivers for industrial silicone components expired March 2025
Industry analysts predict these changes will force 68% of U.S. importers to reconsider supply chains, according to Global Trade Magazine's Q2 report.
While some manufacturers pursue Southeast Asian facilities2, we innovate through logistics engineering:
