KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 13 — Malaysia continues to enjoy tariff exemptions for its semiconductor exports to the United States, said Investment, Trade and Industry Minister (Miti) Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani.
He emphasised that Malaysia has yet to receive any indication that Washington will impose tariffs on the sector’s exports.
“We have not received any indication that the US will impose tariffs on Malaysian semiconductors at this time,” said Johari in a press conference at the European Union-Malaysia Business Day 2026: Selangor in Focus here today.
He said negotiations with the US under Section 301 covered four issues, namely forced labour, excess production capacity, the environmental standards and government subsidies.
