The U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced new guidelines last Friday (11th), excluding 20 product categories, including smartphones, computers, chips and certain semiconductor manufacturing equipment, from the "reciprocal tariff" arrangement. However, foreign media quoted U.S. President Donald Trump clarifying that these product categories were merely reclassified and not exempted from tariffs. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick explained that tariffs on the semiconductor and electronics industries are expected to be introduced in the next 1-2 months.
