WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Trump administration has excluded smartphones, laptops, and other key electronics from the recently imposed 125% “reciprocal” tariffs, a move aimed at preventing price increases on widely used consumer devices predominantly imported from China.

The exemption, announced by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, is retroactive to April 5, 2025. It covers a range of electronics, including computers, semiconductor devices, and flat-panel displays. The decision marks a significant shift in the administration’s broader trade strategy, which has focused on addressing trade imbalances with countries such as China.

“These exclusions are designed to protect American consumers and businesses from potential price spikes on essential electronics,” a Customs spokesperson said.

Major U.S. technology firms such as Apple and Dell stand to benefit from the exemptions. Both companies rely heavily on Chinese imports for components and finished products. The tariff relief is expected to help maintain stable pricing and minimize supply chain disruptions for tech manufacturers.

The administration initially introduced the tariffs as part of a wider effort to pressure trading partners and reduce deficits. However, the inclusion of high-demand electronics prompted concern from both industry leaders and consumer groups over potential cost increases.

Officials say the administration is continuing to monitor the effects of trade policies to protect U.S. interests while supporting growth and stability.
