ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, the U.S. government has implemented a 19% import tariff on Bitcoin mining machines produced in Southeast Asia, resulting in a total tax rate of 21.6% for mining machines from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. The current tax rate for mining machines from China is 57.6%, but the U.S. and China have agreed in principle to extend the tariff suspension period by 90 days.

Mining company Luxor Technology stated that high tariffs will suppress growth in the U.S. market, prompting mining companies to shift to regions with lower tax rates such as Canada. Mining machine manufacturers are expanding domestic production capacity, with companies like MicroBT establishing production lines in the U.S.

Data shows that the U.S. import tariff for mining machines has significantly increased from 2.6% before Trump's administration, making it one of the highest regions in the world for mining machine import costs.
