What tariff does the U.S. charge on semiconductors and integrated circuits from Malaysia?

In 2025, USITC reported an effective calculated-duty rate of 0.98% for semiconductors and integrated circuits imported from Malaysia, calculated as reported Calculated Duties divided by covered customs value. It reflects the observed entry mix but does not identify the legal cause of the rate or determine an entry-specific duty.

How much semiconductors and integrated circuits does the U.S. import from Malaysia?

The U.S. imported $11.1B of semiconductors and integrated circuits from Malaysia in 2025, 21.2% of the tracked semiconductors and integrated circuits it imports, ranking Malaysia the 2nd-largest named source. The chart above traces the retained reported years; a year with no retained source row is unknown, not zero.

What does freight add on semiconductors and integrated circuits from Malaysia?

Cost, insurance, and freight ran 0.93% of customs value on semiconductors and integrated circuits from Malaysia in 2025. That is an additional import burden alongside the reported effective calculated-duty rate; a country-specific invoice price is still required for a comparable landed unit cost.

U.S. Imports of Semiconductors and integrated circuits From Malaysia

In 2025, U.S. importers brought in $11.1B of semiconductors and integrated circuits from Malaysia; USITC reported an effective calculated-duty rate of 0.98% for that flow. That makes Malaysia the 2nd-largest named source of this family, at 21.2% of tracked semiconductors and integrated circuits imports. The family-wide effective calculated-duty rate is 3.22%, so Malaysia's observed rate is 2.2 points less than average. Freight and insurance add 0.93% on top of customs value. Tracked-family figures are a floor on total bilateral trade, from USITC DataWeb data.

The current reading

Import value: $11.1B of semiconductors and integrated circuits from Malaysia in 2025, customs value.
Observed effective calculated-duty rate: 0.98%, reported Calculated Duties ÷ covered customs value, 2.2 points below the 3.22% family average.
Share of the family: 21.2%, #2 named source of semiconductors and integrated circuits.
Reported freight and insurance: 0.93% of customs value, shown alongside the effective calculated-duty rate.
History depth: 3 years of annual named-source boards.

About this data

Reference statistics derived from USITC published data. Not a customs ruling. MFN-Free and Special-rate fields describe statutory line coverage only; final entry liability requires origin, date, eligibility, exclusions and other transaction facts. Calculated Duties are statistical estimates, not a cash-collections ledger. Confirm classification, origin, program eligibility, and final entry liability with a licensed customs broker.
