Malaysia will negotiate sector-specific tariffs, including on semiconductors, with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick at the October 2025 ASEAN Leaders Summit in Kuala Lumpur.
The U.S. imposed an 19% tariff on most Malaysian exports in August, but semiconductors remain exempt pending a national security review.
Malaysia, the world’s sixth-largest semiconductor exporter, warns that lifting the exemption could harm global supply chains and competitiveness.
