$BTC US Electronics Tariff Exemption Signals Strategic Trade Pivot

The United States has exempted electronics—smartphones, laptops, semiconductors, and more—from President Donald Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs,” effective retroactively from April 5, 2025. Announced by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), this spares these goods from 125% tariffs on Chinese imports and 10% duties on others, easing pressure on tech giants like Apple, Nvidia, and TSMC, as well as consumers.
