Accepted Answer

The Tariff Differential Between Malaysia and China for US Imports

The tariff differential between Malaysia and China for US imports stands at 24 per cent and at least 54 per cent, respectively. This disparity arises from recent US executive orders impacting goods from both nations.
US Tariffs on Malaysian Goods

US President Donald Trump announced an executive order that imposes a 24 per cent tariff on imports from Malaysia. This measure became effective on April 9.
US Tariffs on Chinese Goods

Concurrently, Chinese goods are subject to an additional 34 per cent tariff, building upon a previously imposed 20 per cent levy. This brings the total new tariff on Chinese goods to 54 per cent.
Impact on Glove Exports

Specifically concerning rubber medical and surgical gloves, China faces a 60 per cent tariff on its exports to the US. The latest additional 34 per cent tariff further widens this gap for Chinese producers.
Investment Bank Analysis

Kenanga Investment Bank Bhd noted that Malaysian glove makers remain in a net positive position due to this tariff differential. They project that the pricing gap between Malaysian and Chinese producers for US exports will remain significant, even with projected higher tariffs on Chinese medical gloves in the future.
