$BTC The Trump administration has exempted certain electronics from the reciprocal tariffs announced earlier this month. Smartphones, laptops, hard drives and semiconductor manufacturing machines are among the products excluded from the tariffs. This decision, announced by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, applies to both the 125% tariff on Chinese goods and the universal baseline 10% tariff. However, previous tariffs, such as the 20% tariff on Chinese goods, still apply. The exemptions are seen as a win for tech investors, potentially benefiting companies like Apple and Nvidia. Yet, targeted tariffs and restrictions may still be imposed ¹.
