After the decision, electronic products are left out of 145% rates imposed on China
The government has eliminated tariffs on smartphones, computers and other electronic devices, reducing the cost impact of various high -tech popular products on US consumers. The measure, released on Friday (11) at night by customs and border protection, covers various electronic products, such as smartphones and components, entering the United States from China, now subject to an additional 145%tariff. Exemptions reduce the scope of 10% comprehensive tariffs announced by Trump earlier this month and the severe additional tax on China products.
The American president has a specific target of China with tariffs under the pretext of combating commercial practices he considers unfair. Starting this week, Chinese products entering the United States paying an average of 145%. Trump justifies these taxes by citing the role that the Asian giant plays in fentanyl supply chains, a drug that has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths in the United States over the past two decades.
