In a major decision, the Trump administration in the United States has announced tariff exemptions for smartphones, laptops, and other key technology products. The move is expected to provide significant relief to consumers by preventing potential price hikes on these electronics.
According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the following items have been granted relief from reciprocal tariffs:
- Smartphones
- Laptops
- Semiconductor manufacturing equipment
- Flat-panel monitors (such as LED screens)
This step is seen as an effort to keep the cost of consumer electronics low in the U.S. while also supporting the domestic technology sector.
