I am a small electronic board manufacturer in US. I buy bare PCB boards from China and populate them here. Usually the parts are bought from Digikey, Mouser or other distributor. Adding a 25% tax will not incentivize any American company to start produce parts here.It is way to little and to late. If 10 boards are $2 in China, are maybe $30 in US , so even you put 100% import tax, the China price is still competitive. The law is unfairly hitting the small US companies. Sparkfun , Adafruit will be hit, but not Apple or HP because they are finishing the product in China. The only ones winning from this is the US government that is getting 25% of the money . This is definitely not creating jobs.
