In the latest round of the Trump tariff saga that has economists around the world on the edge of their seats, the U.S. released updated guidelines on Friday exempting specific technology devices, such as laptops, smartphones, and machines needed to make semiconductors, from reciprocal tariffs imposed by the U.S.The new tariff guidelines exclude a range of electronics, including laptops, semiconductors, solar cells, flat-panel displays, flash drives, memory cards, and solid-state drives. However, while these products are currently exempt, future duties remain possible.China’s Ministry of Commerce called the exemptions “a small step by the U.S. towards rectifying the misguided approach of unilateral ‘reciprocal tariffs’” and added that Beijing was still reviewing its impact.The Ministry took the opportunity to repeat its heavy criticism of the U.S. tariffs, insisting that Washington was “severely disrupting the international economic and trade order” and “harming others without benefiting itself.” It also called on the U.S. to:“Take a significant step towards rectification, completely abandon the erroneous ‘reciprocal tariffs’, and return to the right path of mutual respect and resolving differences through equal dialogue.”145% tariffs hit tech companies like Apple particularly hardThe exemption provides temporary relief to companies like Apple, which manufactures over 90% of its products in China, including iPads and Mac computers

Computers, chips, smartphones and other electronic goods will be exempt from some reciprocal tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).A CBP notice posted late Friday provided a list of 20 electronic devices and components that will be exempt from import duties — including computers, flat panel monitors, smartphones, laptops, hard drives, memory chips and more. The notice said that the exemption applies to products entering the U.S. or removed from warehouses starting on April 5.However, the tariff exemptions for electronics could be temporary, according to U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard LutnickElectronic devices and components could be subject to “semiconductor” tariffs that will likely come in a month or two, Lutnick said.“All those products are going to come under semiconductors, and they’re going to have a special focus type of tariff to make sure that those products get reshored. We need to have semiconductors, we need to have chips, and we need to have flat panels — we need to have these things made in America. We can’t be reliant on Southeast Asia for all of the things that operate for us,” Lutnick told ABC News’ “This Week” on Sunday.The electronics exemption imposed on Friday could at least temporarily provide some tariff relief for international shippers amid a back-and-forth tariff escalation between the U.S
