BEIJING/SHENZHEN, March 11 (Reuters) – Chen Zhuo is in a rush to get visas for his equipment technicians to fly from China to the United States, where one client is accelerating the expansion of a food processing plant to be able to import machinery at lower U.S. tariffs.
By contrast, Ren Yanlin, an executive at a firm supporting overseas factory projects, is brushing off the tariff cut, which came with last month’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling that curbed President Donald Trump’s ability to impose such levies at will.
If he ramped up machinery shipments to meet a rise in U.S. orders in response to the ruling, he would run the risk of levies being reimposed by the time the products arrive, Ren said.
