President Trump exempts smartphones and computers from new U.S. import tariffs

President Donald Trump holds a signed executive order on tariffs, in the Rose Garden at the White House in Washington, D.C., April 2, 2025.
President Donald Trump’s administration has excluded smartphones and computers from its reciprocal tariffs, which include a 125% tariff on Chinese goods.

US Customs and Border Patrol published a notice late on Friday explaining the goods would be excluded from Trump’s 10% global tariff on most countries and the much larger Chinese import tax.
The exemptions also include other electronic devices and components, including semiconductors, solar cells and memory cards.
