Taiwan upbeat on U.S. drone market despite tariffs
Posted on 2026-08-15 14:10:13
The government says it's optimistic about expanding Taiwan's share of the US
unmanned aerial vehicle market.

This comes after Washington imposed new tariffs on Thursday.

The Executive Yuan's Office of Trade Negotiations said Taiwanese companies
are well positioned to benefit from shifting supply chains and increase their
presence in the US market.

Under the latest US policy, some larger drones suitable for military use will
be subject to up to a 100 percent tariff, while smaller models will be
subject to a 25 percent tariff.

Imports from Taiwan and some other countries will be subject to a lower 15
percent tariff, giving it an advantage over some competitors.

The office says Taiwan is currently the sixth-largest supplier of drones to
the United States, behind Vietnam, China, Canada, Norway and Switzerland.
