Smartphones and computers are now spared from Trump’s reciprocal tariffs
The Trump administration has amended its list of imports that will be affected by sweeping global tariffs in order to exempt certain electronics, including smartphones and computers.
The updated guidance was published Friday night by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The exemption will apply to President Trump’s steep “reciprocal tariffs” imposed across dozens of countries, which have since been paused until early July as well as the 145% levies currently in place on China. That was the only country excluded from the reciprocal tariff pause.
The exemption is effective for products that entered the U.S. or left warehouses starting on April 5. The White House issued a presidential memo about the exemption on Saturday.
Consumers now face “tariff surcharges” for some goods as companies pass along costs
The Trump administration’s volley of tariffs has U.S. companies scrambling for ways to absorb — and if possible avoid — the added business costs.
Some enterprises, from small businesses to nationally recognized brands, have already announced higher prices, citing President Trump’s tariffs. While others, from footwear companies to furniture brands, are warning consumers to brace for increased costs to come.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy told CNBC Thursday that he expects the tariffs to lead to higher prices on a host of consumers goods, noting that the site’s third-party sellers are likely to pass on tariff-related costs.
