1studentMy friend, should such a 25% tariff be introduced as soon as you are suggesting it is to be introduced, the cost of both synthetic and natural graphite material and the cost of graphite comprising battery component materials being imported from China is likely about to be increased by 25%
It is my understanding the 25% tariff was set to expire on December 31 2023 and was extended until May 31 2024. The decision we await is whether the tariff is removed left as is or increased.
I suspect it will be left as is because of the upcoming US election. President Biden can not look soft on China.
