Despite exceptions in the technology sector, Switch 2 in the USA - Stand - now - is not coming around fat tariffs to Chinese goods.
The controversial and sometimes rather inconsistent customs policy of US President Donald Trump is currently on everyone's lips and unsettles the global economy - which can be read about the wild ups and downs on the stock exchanges. While the customs war with China chased from one increase to the next, Trump had exposed most of the other import duties for at least 90 days last week. It has almost been lost over the weekend with regard to the previous reporting that there was a further exception: in the technology sector.
Probably not to harm its own technology giants such as Apple, the US customs authority has excluded parts of the technology sector from the punitive tariffs for Chinese goods and parts. After all, iPhones and others like to come from the Far East. The crux of the matter: while for example, no penalty is collected on smartphones and computers, for example, gaming consoles are not excluded.
Translated: Nintendo must first continue to assume that the tariffs will be charged on the Switch 2. HowNikkei thingReports also report evaluated "internal memos" from a "large Apple and Nintendo supplier" that it doesn't look particularly good for Nintendo on the customs front.
Game consoles that are manufactured in China would continue to be subject to customs of 145 percent for goods introduced from China to the USA. The Switch 2 is mainly manufactured in China, only "a relatively small part is produced in Vietnam," the memo continues.
If the Switch 2 from China is introduced to the USA, 145 percent of customs fees will be due - it was now. Nintendo had already moved these circumstances to initially suspend pre -orders of the console in the United States in order to be able to impose the influence of customs policy. It remains to be seen whether the Switch 2, which should still be available in the United States on June 5 on June 5, is now becoming more expensive.
