Current oil prices mean that extra shipping costs from East Asia are equivalent to a 9-percent tariff in the US; this margin would rise to 15 percent if the cost of oil per barrel rose to US$200. These differences could potentially more than offset any cost advantages enjoyed by East Asia-based industries.
