‘Video games are not manufactured in China,’ Playasia reassures tariff-wary customers

A famous retailer Plasia, to buy video games, toys and a lot from Asia, Says that It “does not expect” that the Trump administration’s import rule has been changed to implement “game -related orders” on Chinese -made goods of the Trump administration because “these orders will not include Chinese -made goods.”

On May 2, the Trump administration is planning to eliminate de Munimis waiver, which allows imports to enter less than $ 800 US duty -free and is ready to impose new taxes on imported goods from China.

But “the most important piece of information for the game collectors is that video games are not produced in China,” the company says in its post on X. “Video games are currently developed primarily in Japan, with some exceptions in Southeast Asia.”

Plasia also says that “many other types are very similar to video games in which products are mainly manufactured out of China, such as: Game Sound tracks, books and films.” But the company is planning to add the “original country” field to the product pages in “coming weeks”.

“Most of the products sold in Palaceia are not the origin of Chinese manufacturing,” says Palaceia. But it will “clear” the “import situation” after May 2.
