Trump exempts smartphones and computers from latest tariffs — here's what it means for you

RNC live stream: President Donald Trump speaks at Republican National Convention.

The tech sector is getting some relief from President Donald Trump's hefty tariffs on products imported from China, Mexico, and Canada. Smartphones, computer monitors, and some electronics will be exempt from his global reciprocal tariffs, according to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection notice posted late Friday.

Along with these consumer products, exclusions will apply to semiconductors, solar cells, flat panel TV displays, flash drives, memory cards, and solid-state drives. The exemption applies to products entering the United States or removed from warehouses as early as April 5.
