    It’ll probably be 100% tariff for the chip, and whatever the rate is for that country on the rest of the product. That’s assuming they go into that much detail, because if they don’t, it would be easy to dodge.

      I import exhaust parts made from steel. They are tarriffed as exhaust parts. Raw steel has its own import HTS code.

        Right, but a microchip is quite a different beast than raw steel. Nobody is going to buy a muffler to melt down to produce something else, but they might buy a PC to scavenge for parts. It’s relatively easy to pull a chip off a board, whereas reforming steel is a lot more intensive.
