Trump Exempts Smartphones, Computers and Chips From New Tariffs

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


It would be far too long to wait until they could be made in the US but that is the goal.

The Trump administration exempted computers, along with smartphones and other electronics, from its reciprocal tariffs. This decision, announced late on April 11, 2025, by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, excludes these products from the 125% tariff on China and the 10% global tariff on most other countries. The move benefits tech companies like Apple and Nvidia and aims to shield consumers from price hikes, as most of these goods aren’t made in the U.S. and domestic production would take years to establish

The exemption of computers, chips, and smartphones from tariffs shows strategic recalibration—prioritizing consumer tech while maintaining pressure on China. The United States Reciprocal Trade Act (H.R. 735) allows targeted adjustments, avoiding blanket policies that could spike prices for everyday Americans. This isn’t retreat—it’s refining leverage.

China still faces 125% tariffs, but sparing critical tech components prevents supply chain chaos and protects U.S. innovation pipelines. The 90-day pause for other nations forces them to negotiate better terms. Smart policy evolves.
