Game Boy clone maker Anbernic suspends all shipments to US
1 min read
Summary
Responding to the US threat of a 245% tariff on Chinese imports, Chinese games manufacturer Anbernic has suspended shipments indefinitely.
The company has long offered customers the choice of buying its products from Chinese or US warehouses; it has now stopped shipments from China but the US option remains.
Anbernic cites the lack of clarity about how these tariffs will be collected as the reason for halting the Chinese shipments.
Its low-priced games units, which emulate Nintendo consoles, are likely to become much more expensive if the tariff threat becomes reality.
It is still possible to buy Anbernic products in the US from third-party Amazon sellers.
This is one of the first examples of a specific company taking action in response to the threatened trade war between the US and China.
