News Release 1: Our Radios Maintain Superior Quality Amid U.S. 25% Semiconductor Tariff Implementation

Global trade witnessed a significant shift on January 15, 2026, as the U.S. government officially imposed a 25% ad valorem tariff on select semiconductors, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and their derivatives . Targeting advanced AI chips like the NVIDIA H200 and AMD MI325X, the policy aims to reduce reliance on foreign supply chains and boost domestic production, based on findings from a U.S. Department of Commerce investigation . Amid this industry-wide adjustment, our company’s radio products continue to deliver uncompromised high quality, standing firm against market volatility.

The tariff policy, authorized under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, covers specific tariff codes (8471.50, 8471.80, 8473.30) and includes eight categories of exemptions, such as chips for U.S. data centers, R&D activities, and civil industrial applications . While the semiconductor supply chain faces cost restructuring and geopolitical pressures, our radios remain unaffected in terms of performance and reliability. We have long adhered to a dual-track strategy for component sourcing, partnering with certified suppliers that meet both international quality standards and U.S. trade compliance requirements. Our radio manufacturing integrates high-performance yet cost-effective semiconductor solutions, avoiding over-reliance on tariff-targeted advanced AI chips while leveraging software-defined radio technology to ensure clear reception and stable functionality .

“Quality resilience is built on proactive supply chain management,” said a spokesperson for our company. “We anticipated potential trade policy shifts and optimized our component selection and production processes in advance. Whether it’s analog radios or digital models supporting FM, HD Radio™, and DAB/DAB+, every product undergoes rigorous testing to meet global quality benchmarks.”
