Trump Exempts China’s Smartphones, Laptops, Other Electronics From 125% Tariff

The exclusions are retroactive to 12.01 am ET on Apr 5.The US CBP listed 20 product categories, including the very broad 8471 code for all computers, laptops, disc drives and automatic data processing. It also included semiconductor devices, equipment, memory chips and flat panel displays.
