Chemical and materials maker DuPont faces a tariff challenge that is different from many U.S. manufacturers—most of its potential $500 million exposure comes from shipping products to its own business in China. The country accounts for about a fifth of DuPont’s $12 billion annual revenue, thanks in part to the electronics business that serves China’s booming semiconductor fabrication industry. During an earnings call with analysts, Chief Executive Lori Koch said the company sends intermediate products to China for completion before shipping them to customers.
