惠而浦就海外竞争对手涉嫌规避关税行为提请关注
2025年11月6日发布

惠而浦公司已就部分海外竞争对手可能存在的关税规避行为向美国政府发出警示。据《华尔街日报》周日晚间报道，这家家电巨头怀疑某些外国制造商通过低报进口商品价值来减少应缴关税。

该公司的指控基于联邦进口数据。数据显示，自六月起多种家电的申报海关价值出现锐减。由于关税以申报价值为计税基础，低报价值将大幅减少企业向美国政府缴纳的税额。

《华尔街日报》核查数据后发现典型案例：
· 中国进口的厨房垃圾处理器申报单价从年初的21美元骤降至6月的9美元
· 泰国产燃气灶报价降至175美元，跌幅超50%
· 韩国洗衣机申报价值从838美元暴跌至73美元

惠而浦指出，尽管申报价值大幅下降，这些产品的零售价格却基本维持不变。当前此类家电的关税税率介于13%至60%之间。

虽然惠而浦尚未提交正式申诉，但已将其发现提交给美国海关与边境保护局等联邦机构。据称该公司还就数据异常问题与竞争对手进行了直接交涉。

此事正值惠而浦面临严峻挑战之际。该公司80%销往美国的产品虽在本土制造，但当前正面临消费需求疲软困境。其股价年内累计下跌20%，Stocktwits等投资平台上的市场情绪已转向看空。

美国主要外资家电供应商包括韩国三星和LG（均在特朗普首任总统任期内建立美国工厂）、中国海尔及瑞典伊莱克斯。针对惠而浦的指控，海尔旗下GE家电驳斥相关言论，暗示其源于惠而浦自身“业绩低迷”，并称指控内容失实。Whirlpool Raises Concerns Over Possible Tariff Evasion by Foreign Rivals

Posted on 网页链接{November 6, 2025}

Whirlpool Corporation has alerted the U.S. government to what it believes may be a case of tariff evasion by some of its overseas competitors. According to a Wall Street Journal report published late Sunday, the appliance giant suspects that certain foreign manufacturers are underreporting the value of their imports to reduce the amount they owe in tariffs.

The company’s claims are based on federal import data, which it says reveals a sharp decline in the declared customs value of various appliances beginning in June. Since tariffs are calculated based on declared value, a lower figure would result in significantly reduced payments to the U.S. government.

The WSJ reviewed the data and found striking examples:
Kitchen garbage disposals from China dropped in declared value from an average of $21 earlier in the year to just $9 in June
Gas ranges from Thailand fell to $175, down more than 50%
Washing machines from South Korea plummeted from $838 to $73

Despite these dramatic drops in declared import values, Whirlpool noted that retail prices for these products have remained largely unchanged. Tariff rates on these appliances range from 13% to 60%.

While Whirlpool has not filed a formal complaint, it has shared its findings with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and other federal agencies. The company also reportedly confronted its competitors directly about the discrepancies.

This development comes at a challenging time for Whirlpool. The company manufactures 80% of its U.S.-bound appliances domestically but is currently grappling with weak consumer demand. Its stock has fallen 20% so far this year, and investor sentiment on platforms like Stocktwits has turned bearish.

Major foreign appliance suppliers to the U.S. include South Korea’s Samsung and LG both of which established U.S. manufacturing plants during President Trump’s first term as well as China’s Haier and Sweden’s Electrolux. In response to Whirlpool’s claims, GE Appliances, a Haier subsidiary, dismissed the allegations, suggesting they stem from Whirlpool’s own “lagging performance” and calling the accusations inaccurate.
