Customers want a bandsaw made in Taiwan
There are several reasons why your customers want a bandsaw made in Taiwan. When you combine these reasons with the benefits of making the switch to a Taiwan band saw manufacturer to avoid section 301 tariff band saw sourcing issues, it becomes a very attractive option to source your metal cutting bandsaws from Taiwan.
- High quality manufacturing & increased reliability
- Availability of dependable OEM spare parts
- Compliance with local regulations & requirements

The engineering quality of Taiwanese manufacturing is well known, and established machine manufacturers, like Rong Fu, maintain an extensive inventory of spare parts for machines that may be 20 years old and still in excellent working condition. When you add transparent and open, audited compliance with global and regional certification standards and the progressive availability of new technologies and capabilities, you have a combination of features that help your customers make key purchasing decisions.

Why are OEM brands switching from Chinese to Taiwan band saw manufacturers?
OEM brands are switching from Chinese to Taiwanese band saw manufacturers for several reasons. The main reason is the problem of tariffs imposed by the US government on products manufactured in China and imported into the US. There are also on-going concerns with quality and reliability of certification of OEM metal cutting bandsaws that are manufactured in China for importation into EU markets.
A significant factor that influences the willingness of OEM brands to switch from Chinese to Taiwanese band saw manufacturing is the perception that it will be difficult to change supply chains and to restock and maintain catalogs during the transition period. This is not necessarily an issue, and working with a well established band saw manufacturer like Rong Fu makes this much easier to achieve.
What are the tariff issues with importing band saws from China?
If you import band saws from China to supply your OEM catalog for sale in the US, you are currently significantly exposed to Section 301 and HTS8459 tariffs. Besides the increased costs that have to be absorbed either from your bottom line or passed on to customers, it is difficult to predict how these tariffs may fluctuate. Rapidly changing tariffs can also cause problems by changing the value of date-stamped inventory stock before it reaches the market. A Taiwanese manufacturer significantly reduces tariff risk.

How does your OEM band saw supplier mitigate quality control risks?
Quality control risks are a constant headache when trying to identify trustworthy and reliable OEM band saw suppliers. Clear, consistent, accurate specifications and valid international certifications for metal cutting bandsaws are an essential part of the manufacturing process. Your existing supplier should already be providing CE marking for EU imports, ETL safety certification for North America and ISO 9001:2015 qualification with a paper trail and test samples to back up claims.
