Detailed Content:
In April 2026, the US government lowered tariffs on Chinese silicone products from 45% to 30%, significantly improving the competitiveness of Chinese exports. This tariff reduction triggers a strong rebound in US orders for Chinese silicone products, with many buyers accepting 30% price premiums to secure supply amid tight global inventory. Guangdong-based silicone exporters report faster payment terms and increased order volumes from US clients. Hongye Silicone capitalizes on this trend by expanding shipments of food-grade silicone, electronic potting compounds, and industrial sealants to the US market, with dedicated teams ensuring compliance with US customs and safety standards.
