整体来看的话就是中国对于美国这边 出口到美国的一些这个70的关税的话大概能下降个5%到10%左右那具体的测算来看的话首先整个的之前中国直接对于美国出口的这种普通的零部件的话大概在45%左右的关税这里面包括20%的一个芬太尼的关税和25%的这个232条款的一个70关税那这个从中国直接对于美国出口的这种 被认为钢铝制品的这种麒麟的话大概70%其中也是包括20%的芬太尼关税和50%的钢铝关税这是之前的这一次的话因为在美国最高法院裁定特朗普政府对于全球征收的对等关税和芬太尼关税失效的芬太尼关税的话刚刚也大概说大概20%左右所以其实相当于整体先减了20%左右的关税 那这一块加上前面减去的20的关税的话那整体中国对于美国出口的关税的话下降5%到10%左右那对于普通零部件加起来的话也是在40%左右的关税比之前少了大概5%到10%那中国直接出口到美国的被认为的这种钢铝制品的一个气灵的产品的话那这块其实也是从70%下降5%到10%这样的一个水平 所以这是对于关税来讲,对于美国仓库比较大的制造业的公司来说的话,像包括特普尔以及旭声等公司吧,这些公司大家还是最近会受到一部分的关税的变化带来的一些影响。 那这也是我们后续会持续的去关 ...
