00:00With the latest round of U.S. tariffs taking effect, Taiwanese exports to the U.S.,
00:05particularly those from traditional industries, could face serious costs due to tariff stacking.
00:11While final tariffs on Taiwan's semiconductor products are still pending,
00:16exporters in other industries like textiles, who originally faced tariffs of around 10 to 20 percent,
00:22are now seeing rates rise to between 30 to 40 percent.
00:25The same applies to other sectors like bicycles, plastics, rubber, and machinery.
00:31And agricultural and fishery products are now subject to 20 percent tariffs, compared to none previously.
00:38In addition, importers of agricultural, fishery, and textile products are also likely to be among the most affected by the market, opening to the U.S.
00:47Members from Taiwan's Federation of Industries and other experts are urging the government to take action and provide funding support.
