Trump exempts smartphones and computers from new tariffs
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.

Tariffs on chips, phones, laptops still coming, commerce secretary warns
Trump officials adjusted their position a little more than one day after the White House announced an exemption from “reciprocal” tariffs for semiconductors and tech products…
… For the tech industry, Sunday’s clarification marked a return to the uncertainty that has roiled markets — just one day after it celebrated the White House announcement that the chip sector would be spared.
“The mass confusion created by this constant news flow out of the White House is dizzying for the industry and investors and creating massive uncertainty and chaos for companies trying to plan their supply chain, inventory, and demand,” Dan Ives, a senior analyst for Wedbush, wrote in a note to investors.
